I'm Hayden

I have a Master's degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering to build on my Bachelor's degree in Mechanical engineering from Brigham Young University to help bridge the knowledge gap between robotic software and hardware systems. 

 

I'm a passionate autonomous systems engineer with several years of software development experience in C++, Python, and C, committed to changing the world through the development of cutting-edge autonomous system software solutions. I am particularly passionate about exploring applications of vision-enabled autonomous aircraft in disaster relief, humanitarian aid, and general efforts to protect lives.

 

I'm a skilled communicator and problem-solver with leadership and teamwork experience on fast-paced engineering projects.

EXPERIENCE

EXPERIENCE

2021-PRESENT

Research and Development Engineer

UtopiaCompression Corporation

Developing computer vision based autonomous search and rescue package and sense-and-avoid system for vision-enabled unmanned aircraft systems. Advancing passive sense-and-avoid technology for aerial systems with embedded, real-time multi-camera perception capabilities. Developing optimal landmark placement methodology for GPS-denied navigation. Researching utilization of autonomous drone technologies for real-time detection and reporting of harmful algal blooms (HABs) for lake cleanup.

2020-2021

Software Engineering Consultant

UtopiaCompression Corporation

Refactored GPU-accelerated visual target detection software library from OpenCL-based AMD embedded platform for compatibility with CUDA-based Nvidia Jetson embedded platforms.

2018-2021

Research Assistant

Brigham Young University MAGICC Lab

Developed a path planning and control framework for autonomous fixed-wing UAS to transition to an orbit over a target under dynamic and visual constraints while maintaining continuous target visibility. Designed Python software base for these methods in a ROS framework and demonstrated effectiveness in Gazebo simulation environment. Developed algorithms for analyzing visual rotational constraints of vision-enabled UAS. Optimized Visual-MTT tracking algorithm for 300% GPU performance gains with OpenCV CUDA.
