Experience

Student Research Internship

Jet Propulsion Laboratory, NASA.

I work in the control and autonomy group on a snake robot. I am exploring new gaits and locomotion possibilities for different configuration of the snake with both Classical and Deep RL approaches, and studying how to transfer the policy to the real snake.

Interests

Apart from being a web developer, I enjoy most of my time being outdoors. In the winter, I am an avid skier and novice ice climber. During the warmer months here in Colorado, I enjoy mountain biking, free climbing, and kayaking.

When forced indoors, I follow a number of sci-fi and fantasy genre movies and television shows, I am an aspiring chef, and I spend a large amount of my free time exploring the latest technology advancements in the front-end web development world.
