    Jan 2023 - May 2023 (5 months)
    - In the role of the Vegas Loop Tunnel project, my responsibilities included deploying a software solution that enabled the publication of advertisements on Tesla web browsers. - A key challenge was to ensure that the software operated within the constraints of reduced GPU memory. - To overcome this, I implemented a hierarchical data structure consisting of content, playlist, and schedule, which facilitated efficient management of the advertisements. As a result, the project generated a significant revenue impact of $60K per year. As part of my role in the Eryx project, I was responsible for developing a modified version of the SNPM (Sensor Network Protocol Manager) to improve sensor communication within the Eryx repository.
