Hello, I'm Hoang
Building Autonomy
On Wheels.
I build autonomy on wheels, from AMRs to self-driving cars. I own the stack from sensors to planning/control to deployment.

Work Experience
Robotics Software Team Lead
06/2024 - Present- Led the development of the robotics software stack for a new healthcare AMR.
- Designed and implemented a novel 2D localization algorithm with Ceres Solver and Kalman filter, enabling real-time navigation.
- Architected a latency-constrained path-following controller achieving deterministic 20ms cycles (50 Hz) in production.
- Convert part of the 3D localization module to CUDA C++, achieving a 20% speedup in point cloud processing.
Senior Engineer - Planning & Control
08/2022 - 06/2024- Optimized and enhanced the autonomous vehicle's planner to reliably execute in sub 20ms.
- Designed and implemented a multi-layer cost structure for flexible routing.
- Designed and implemented an algorithm to dynamically adjust the search graph to efficiently avoid obstacles.
Senior Robotics Software Engineer
09/2019 - 08/2022- Led the development of the outdoor last-mile delivery robot.
- Led the development of the robotics software stack of the outdoor security robot.
- Led the development of a healthcare disinfection device.
Senior Software Engineer
05/2015 - 08/2018- Developed a proprietary LIN auto-addressing algorithm and successfully deployed it for customers.
- Engineered an ultra-compact embedded firmware for ultrasonic parking sensor, slashing memory footprint to 4 KB, 50-75% smaller than the typical 8–16 KB baseline.
