I am an autonomous systems visionary dedicated to solving the world's most complex mobility challenges through safe, end-to-end autonomy. As a systems thinker, my approach is inherently entrepreneurial. I specialize in starting with the big picture, identifying the pain points by asking the right questions, designing scalable solutions on a blackboard, realizing them on a robust platform, and successfully deploying them in real-world settings.
This comprehensive approach has equipped me with diverse functional and hands-on skills. My distinguished prior work includes (listed chronologically):
Conceptualizing, leading the design, and building a full-scale, modular and scalable autonomous vehicle platform from the ground-up.
Architecting and developing a complete self-driving software stack indigenously over Robot Operating System (ROS) at CUICAR; this technology was successfully evaluated on a retrofitted Nissan Leaf in a controlled testbed.
Engineering performance enhancements for the navigation stack, localization, and mapping modules across various industry-grade robotic platforms, ensuring optimal operation within specific Operational Design Domains (ODDs).
Building the technical foundation of a startup as the Founding Employee, leading the journey from zero to one. This involved designing and developing a full autonomy stack from scratch, initially for on-road environments, and subsequently scaling it for specialized vehicular platforms operating in demanding off-road terrains.
Driven by extensive experience across diverse Operational Design Domains (ODDs), I am currently building a new venture that empowers developing nations with robust and accessible autonomy solutions, delivering increased safety, efficiency, and productivity.
