I’m a PhD student working on self-driving cars at the UC Berkeley RISELab, where I’m advised by Professor Ion Stoica and Professor Joseph Gonzalez.

I’m interested in how techniques from computer systems can make self-driving cars safer and more reliable. To that effect, I’ve helped build 2 open-source software projects:

• ERDOS is a dataflow system for building self-driving car and robotics applications.
• Pylot is a modular self-driving car platform that runs on both real cars and in simulation.

Previously, I contributed to several successful open-source projects:

• Ray is a popular framework for developing distributed applications.
• Modin scales pandas workflows to terabytes.
