CoreDash

The safety operator's (passenger seat) user interface to the vehicle AI on daily autonomous test drives. I helped completely rewrite this software.

What was my impact?

I coded the mission UI. Without my work, the vehicle could not move.

Why was it difficult?

• Some features could only be tested on-vehicle. It took live debugging over chat to get leads on any bugs.
• Missions required a single point of coordination with 3 other teams.
• Required judgement calls on how to handle edge cases beyond the UI mockup.
• Unique, heterogeneous IPC stack required troubleshooting messaging problems and caused build problems on individual dev machines.
• Complex async state with clunky APIs.

Fleet Pairing Dashboard

A web UI to help manage vehicle configuration.

What was my impact?

The UI prevented demo failures and enabled users outside the dev team: demo operators, QA, other devs.

Why was it difficult?

• I created this dashboard from scratch by myself.
• This was an urgent request, and I had to learn Vue.
• No support from UX designers.

Google Expeditions

Teachers can use Google Cardboard to lead students on a VR field trip or use AR to teach objects.
We launched the 2.0 version, which introduced AR.

What was my impact?

I coded the 3D and 2D UI for AR manipulation. I helped us meet the quality bar for launch.

Why was it difficult?

• Codebase spanned iOS, Android and C++. Getting any new UI input to the renderer required modifying layers and layers.
• I fixed a time-dependent networking bug inherited from authors long gone.

Toontastic

Kids can create cartoons by controlling puppets and improving a story.

What was my impact?

I coded the scene arrangement and music selection UIs.
I made character control really juicy.
I helped us meet the quality bar for launch.

Why was it difficult?

The procedurally generated curve for the story arc required my own design instincts beyond the single frame mockup.

Tilt Brush (VR art tool) - 20% project

What was my impact?

I made paintbrushes that were wackier than any existing brush. Procedurally generated.

Why was it difficult?

• I decided what the brushes would look like.
• Shader code is hard to debug.

Software Engineer Resident

Keywords - C++, Motion Planning, Visualization, Android

Waymo (autonomous vehicles)

I was on the motion planning team.

What was my impact?

I improved our collision mitigation and collected metrics to show evidence.
I reduced the number of pedestrian collisions in simulation.

Why was it difficult?

I hypothesized algorithms, tested them in simulation, then threw them away and tried again.

Android's Builtin Alarm Clock App

What was my impact?

Software Engineer Intern

Proprietary Web Framework

Like Angular, but for Google's internal needs.

What was my impact?

I made the framework compatible with Web Components.
I made Material Design components for the framework's library.
