I can help you form and manage an agile technical team to make proof-of-concept prototypes. I have a strong background in numerical algorithms and convex optimization. I have made mathematical models of physical systems such as vehicle dynamics systems (steering, suspension and braking), automotive engines and robots. I have years of education and experience in Electrical, Mechanical, Automotive, Control Engineering and applied mathematics.

I was a Senior Research Engineer at Maplesoft for more than 6 years working on symbolic methods, acausal modeling, algorithm optimization and automatic code generation with Toyota, Japan and the Toyota Technical Center in Ann Arbor. I have also been an Assistant Professor for three years. I used to teach Mechatronics to undergraduate and Convex Optimization to graduate students.

At AIS, I led the software team for the development of two connected autonomous vehicles and three autonomous mobile robotics . I also acted as the product owner of a connected autonomous electric tow tractor and a UV-C disinfection robot. In addition, I worked with the Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) and product management teams. The main business model of AIS is Robot as a Service (RaaS). Therefore, cloud services are a large part of the development process. In my role as the lead of the software team, I made sure that the embedded software, autonomy software and the web services teams worked smoothly together based on automated tests.
