Bradley Solliday is a software engineer blending five years of hands-on autonomy and robotics experience with a strong math and physics foundation from Cornell. He helped build autonomous drones at Skydio and now works on advanced systems at Anduril, bringing production-grade numerical rigor to perception and control software. An active open-source contributor to SymForce, Bradley focuses on numerical stability and efficient code generation for robotics—improving core math functions and edge-case handling. He enjoys code that reveals surprising mathematical behavior when written on paper, and treats engineering as a form of modern “magic” that animates useful systems in the world.

Contributions summary:Bradley made significant contributions to the SymForce project, focusing on numerical stability and accuracy improvements in core mathematical functions. They addressed numerical instability issues and enhanced the `Rot3.from_rotation_matrix` function by adding tests and implementing corrections for edge cases. Furthermore, the user improved the efficiency and maintainability of code by refactoring classes to auto-generate commonly used methods, such as matrix conversions and methods for camera calibrations. The changes demonstrate a focus on improving the performance and stability of the mathematical code.
