BNSF Railway

Senior Software Engineer
[Developed] heuristics to optimize the placement of crew on various pools of trains using non-convex optimization (Tabu search). Took into account several variables including business rules, fuel cost, GIS data, weather forecasts, and train maintenance metadata with the goal of using the least amount of trains and personnel in the least amount of time. 

[Deployed] the modernized crew planning system to IBM Bluemix, providing greater scalability, real time decision making, up-to-date reporting, and enhanced IBM Watson-based analytics. 

[Developing] heuristics to optimize, manage, and automate time off and vacations for various train crews using AIML and Drools encoded JBPM systems. Took into account several data points including myriad union agreements, per-station and per-yard workload, and personal crew data to automatically grant leave or defer to a human supervisor. Impacted the way both business and customers interact with the cargo freight service. Customers are provided real time, up to date information about their cargo. BNSF is better able to manage their trains, and moves closer to the creation of a fully autonomous industrial railway corridor. Upon project completion, yearly operating expenses are expected to reduce by roughly 10%, while the number of trains and service corridors will expand. 

[Introduced] bleeding edge technologies into the railroad vertical, most notably a speech-centric ML pipeline aimed at emulating and enhancing crew-oriented business processes. 

[Deployed] a prototype VUI aimed at supplanting a traditional IVR and callcenter system.

[Developed]  a software stack centered on sensors and actuators, combining Finite State Machines, Expert Systems, and Machine Learning. This was ARAI’s core technology and formed the center of a variety of use cases ranging from safer industrial automation to VUI-enhanced educational experiences.

[Raised] ​ a seed round of $1M, with a planned exit through acquisition.

● Industrial Automation Use Case
The goal​ of this prototype was to validate the modularity of ARAI’s core technology. Developed​ a machine learning-enhanced sensor-actuator network capable of interfacing with traditional industrial robots and delivering enhanced autonomy. 

● Home Automation Use Case
The goal​ of this prototype was to introduce ARAI’s core technology into the consumer space. This included the development of a VUI and voice centric FSM aimed at fulfilling user requests with Amazon Echo-like functionality. Developed​ an add-on sensor-actuator package designed to turn a “dumb” device into a connected, “smart” one, in line with the IoT philosophy. 

● AI in Education Use Case
The goal​ of this prototype was the development of an advanced VUI (a conversational user interface), and the tying in of said VUI into ARAI’s core technology (similar to SoundHound’s Hound demo). The conversational user interface has the ability to ascertain context and carry context-specific dialog with the user.

System Architect
[Designed] and implemented a fully autonomous photobioreactor array. Created and managed backend infrastructure (3-tier architecture), including sensor/actuator networks, and central control center, and visualizations/digital signage with the aim of applying IoT and DevOps philosophy to renewable energy.

[Carried] out development based on the principles of frugality engineering. The cost per device was less than $100 per unit, while comparable systems would cost in excess of $5k. Reduced Lyxia’s expenses for industrial apparatus by over $2M.

UCLA Linux Users Group
System Administrator
As an administrator, my prime responsibility is to maintain the Linux Users Groups' numerous servers and lounge infrastructure. I also provide technical support to the Kleinrock Internet History Museum at UCLA.
UCLA Robotics
President
I am in charge of UCLA Robotics. As a co-president, I oversee projects and research undertaken by the organisation. I also make the financial and strategical decisions. 

Our current projects include the development of an autonomous ground-based navigator for the RoboMagellan challenge at RoboGames, as well as an autonomous aerial drone.  

My vision for UCLA Robotics includes more research, as well as the development of products for other organisations.
UCLA Robotics Proposal
UCLA Robotics
I authored a proposal that garnered funding to UCLA Robotics from the CENS Research Organisation on campus. It also enabled the club to engage in Directed Research and inaugurate a new Tech Camp for high school students at UCLA.

JMF Media Player Alpha
Aamoy Gupta and Varun Angajala
I created, along with my partner, an Open Source Media Player utilizing the Java Media Framework for a high school school AP Computer Science project. The Media Player is minimal in design, but has adequate power to play common file formats. The application and source code are released under the GNU/GPL. The software has been rated by top review sites, as well as garnered over 3000 downloads on said sites.
