I have 16 years of optical related engineering experience with the last 7 years concentrating on advanced LiDAR technolgoies for General Motors. I am currently the Technical Specialst for LiDAR Sensing Hardware focused on developing and integrating LiDAR systems for ADAS and Automated Driving initiatives. Prior to General Motors, I worked at NASA developing non-intrusive optical diagnostic techniques for aeronautics related applications.

The Pop in Your Job – What drives you? Why do you love your job?
I enjoy being a part of the automotive journey that LiDAR has been on over the past several years. It has been exciting to continuously learn, innovate, and adapt alongside the industry since the early days when LiDAR began entering the automotive market. I am looking forward to seeing how the LiDAR (and the ADAS and Automated Driving) industry continues to evolve.

General Motors’ vision is to create a world with Zero Crashes, Zero Emissions and Zero Congestion, and we have committed ourselves to leading the way toward this future. Today, we are in the midst of a transportation revolution, and we have the ambition, the talent and the technology to realize the safer, better and more sustainable world we want. As an open, inclusive company, we’re also creating an environment where everyone feels welcomed and valued for who they are. One team, where all ideas are considered and heard, where everyone can contribute to their fullest potential, with a culture based in respect, integrity, accountability, and equality. Our team brings wide-ranging perspectives and experiences to solving the complex transportation challenges of today and tomorrow.
