Self Driving Race Car

Redback Racing

Redback Racing | February 2026 - Present

Part of the mapping team, the team that keeps track of where the car is in a track. I work on finding ways to do loop-closure in a performant manner. The main challenges of working on a autonomous vehicle is primarily performance and testing. Pictured is our simulation running where we do testing.

Real-time Live Telemetry

Redback Racing | September 2024 - January 2026

Real time math channels! Enabling engineers to take live data and modify it in real time e.g. taking wheel speed from all sensors and getting the average. Cool challenges were tracking math dependencies, front-end performance management, and deploying AWS resources responibly.

Content Management System

February 2026 - May 2026

Custom full-stack content management system. Wrote frontend, backend, and managed deployment service while holding weekly client meetings and updates. Primary challenges were client and team management.

Sumobots

June 2024

A robot designed to push other robots off the ring like real sumo. I primarily wrote the strategy code for the robot, tuned the sensors, and did robot testing. The primary challenges was integrating hardware with software reliably.
