Baker Hassani

Software Engineer  ·  Robotics & Simulation

I am a computer science junior at the University of Tulsa, minoring in Artificial Intelligence and Mathematics, and an undergraduate robotics researcher at the Institute for Robotics and Autonomy, where I focus on simulation, control, and autonomous systems(this is a change to proof the automating redeploy-site.sh works)
