Systems + Data + AI + Vehicles
I’m passionate about engineering large-scale systems with societal impact. I have developed technologies with applications on environmental monitoring, wildfire detection, aviation maintenance, and pandemic management. I'm now with Car IQ as part of the Data Science team developing solutions enabling trustworthy, behavior-based, continuous authentication of cars, allowing them to transact for services (e.g. fuel, parking, and tolls), without debit/credit cards.
