Professional Experience

Engineer

/ Soliddd Corp
— Present • New York, NY
CONTEXT

Hardware-software co-design, pipeline optimization, and NPI for Gen1 wearable visual accessibility platforms.

  • Hardware-Software Co-Design: Developed core algorithms and hardware-specific software implementations on the Qualcomm Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 platform.
  • Footprint Optimization: Collaborated with vendors (Thundercomm) to modify PCBA hardware layouts, stripping non-essential components to meet strict eyeglass form-factor constraints.
  • Sensor Integration: Optimized low-latency software pipelines for a 4-camera sensor configuration managing raw frame processing, color video see-through, and inward-facing gaze tracking.
  • Thermal/Power Engineering: Conducted pre-ID thermal profiling to resolve pipeline throttling under full-shader loads; evaluated active PWM cooling layouts and multi-cell battery balancing.
  • Manufacturing Operations: Interfaced with contract manufacturers through EVT milestones, managing CAD linkages and technical hardware specifications.

Software Engineer

/ NYU Langone Health
— • New York, NY
CONTEXT

Data pipeline engineering and wearable hardware prototyping for clinical mobility research funded by $5M+ in grants.

  • Data Pipeline Engineering: Developed MATLAB data dashboards to synchronize and process asynchronous spatial streams from Pupil Labs eye-trackers and Polhemus electromagnetic sensors.
  • Embedded Prototyping: Fabricated wearable, camera-mounted backpack units to evaluate edge computer vision and OCR algorithms using Nvidia Jetson compute nodes.
  • Signal Processing: Processed high-frequency kinematics data matrices (.mat, .csv) to programmatically isolate saccade parameters and movement velocities.
  • Clinical Trial Operations: Generated spatial analytics figures and statistical validations for peer-reviewed medical informatics publications across multi-subject clinical trials.

Research Intern

/ NYU Tandon Dynamical Systems Lab
— • Brooklyn, NY
CONTEXT

Prototyping GPS wearables and analyzing localization feedback techniques for urban and indoor assistive navigation.

  • GPS Integration: Prototyped a GPS-enabled wearable device designed to aid user navigation in complex urban environments.
  • Actuator Evaluation: Evaluated Macro Fiber Composite (MFC) actuators for potential performance improvements to haptic vibration feedback systems.
  • Indoor Localization: Investigated and tested a diverse range of localized radio and sensor techniques for enhanced indoor navigation.
