Work and Extracurricular Experience

USCRS (USC Robotics Society) Underwater Submarine Team 9/10 present

Member, Software Team Development of software for underwater autonomous vehicle for AUVSI annual

RoboSub competition. Tasks included writing computer vision software, such as shape

recognizer, utilizing OpenCV (C/C++ library for computer vision tasks), building a

physics simulator for localization of sub when underwater utilizing BulletPhysics

(C/C++ library for physics simulation). All work done under ROS (Robot Operating

System), an infrastructure allowing for standardized robotic software, developed by

Willow Garage. Subversion based work environment.
