Hi, I'm Duncan.

I am an Autonomy Products Software Engineer at Skydio and a recent graduate of Olin College where I developed a passion for working on perception-oriented problems related to robotics. I also enjoy considering problems from a business and end-user value perspective.

Outside of classroom/office, you will find me hiking, cooking adventurous meals with friends, or playing jazz on the piano.
