📖 Summary

Senior Engineering Manager @ Luminar Technologies Palo Alto, CA3D Graphics Lead Engineer @ Naked Labs Employee #3 at early stage startup in San Francisco. Naked Labs is developing a 3D scanning smart scale that tracks your shape instead of just your weight. Your body is scanned with infrared sensors to create a 3D model. A mobile device app will render your body model and measurements that provide insights to track the results of your workouts and diets. Measurement algorithms will provide the user with changes down to the millimeter of all their body parts and personal trainers can help them target the areas that need improvement. Implemented computer vision depth map fusion application to reconstruct a 3D model of objects scanned with infrared sensors from 360 degrees.  Architected a solution to simulate camera tracking (SLAM) for our fusion application. Profiled software performance of the stereo vision depth sensors executing on the CPU. Technical Lead for a mobile app that will receive the 3D model from the scanner wirelessly and render the model in OpenGL.  Pitched and built relationships with investors. From June 2015 to October 2015 (5 months) 665 3rd st San Francisco, CAGPU Performance Engineer @ Intel Corporation  Modeling, measuring, analyzing, and projecting performance for Intel's GPU product roadmap.  Leveraging my RTL and u-arch design skills along with my sw development experience to measure and analyze the sensitivities of a GPU to modern benchmarks and game title workloads, such as memory bandwidth.  Presenting the analysis to product architects and product managers and providing feedback on what studies should be conducted to win customers. From November 2014 to June 2015 (8 months) Folsom, CA3D Graphics C++ Functional Simulator Software Developer @ Intel Corporation Texture Sampler Team - C++ Functional simulator Developed C++ hardware functional simulator code for texture decompression  Implemented the algorithm for decompressing HDR and LDR 2D/3D ASTC textures (Advanced Scalable Texture Compression) for OpenGL 4.3/ ES 3.0 Fixed bugs in memory management for loading 3D images with LODs. Developed a D3D11 application to decompress Microsoft compressed textures (BC1-7) using the GPU or CPU, and compress them using the CPU (sw encode). Developed Java for a KTX file viewer – viewing cubes unfolded, traversing through slices of a 2D array, and viewing miptails.
