Hi, I'm Bryan, a mechanical engineer turned computer scientist who is pursuing a Master's degree at Georgia Tech.

I pivoted because I wanted to design the brains rather than the brawn of systems and devices. Using machine learning and artificial intelligence, I teach robots how to learn, see, and communicate with us. I love discovering new deep learning architectures and implementing them to enhance the abilities of robots and other forms of embodied AI. Ultimately, I hope to integrate new and emerging AI technologies seamlessly into society to improve our everyday lives.

Currently, I am interning at the Georgia Tech Research Institute as a full-stack developer to strengthen my engineering skills and foundation. The applications I am building are a part of a software system that trains air force pilots using real-time simulation.

Recently, I finished working at the MIT Lincoln Laboratory where I developed AI algorithms for the Spot robot. We aimed to developed a framework that will enable agents to operate in highly dynamic outdoor environments for search-and-rescue missions by leveraging 3D scene graph technologies such as MIT Hydra.

Previously, I have revamped the vision system for a tennis-playing robot and improved its ability to detect and hit tennis balls in real-time using NVIDIA Jetson GPUs. I have also interned at BMW's IT Research Center where I conducted research on Large Language Models, enormous neural networks that are trained on vast amounts of online text data to generate and understand language. In the end, I built a prototype using GPT-3 which was OpenAI's precursor models to ChatGPT and GPT-4. Through these experiences, I aim to build a strong foundation in computer vision, natural language processing, and software systems for machine learning applications.

During my time as an engineer, I built robotic systems at Raytheon and Anduril, and I collaborated with NASA JPL to design the liquid sampler of their EELS space robot. In my free time, I like to play soccer, cook new recipes, and hit the gym. I am also rated in the 75th percentile of players on Chess.com.
