Senior🎓
Top SchoolDi Sun is a Senior Software Engineer with 11 years of experience building decision-making and motion-planning systems for autonomous vehicles, currently at Toyota Research Institute in San Jose. He has a strong robotics and ML background from roles at Lyft, Fetch Robotics, and advanced robotics degrees from University at Buffalo and Northeastern. Di blends classical motion planning, model-based methods, and ML/RL approaches to solve real-world autonomy problems, with a track record shipping planning stacks for indoor and on-road systems. He frames intelligence as continuous learning and iteration, which shows in his pragmatic focus on robust, production-ready decision outputs rather than purely academic solutions. Colleagues would note his rare combination of deep robotics theory and hands-on systems engineering across research and deployed products.
