My name is Joe Dinius. I have spent the last 15+ years working as an autonomous systems engineer in the aerospace, automotive, and robotics industries; most of this time spent in research and development. While I cannot discuss what I have worked on professionally over the years, I have worked on a number of interesting side projects whose results and methodologies I share within this personal website.
I have setup this site to be a collection of posts related to ongoing work that I’m engaged in. Once a project reaches a sufficient level of maturity, I will create a writeup that presents the following:
- A concise problem formulation
- The approach I have taken to solve the formulated problem
- Analysis and summary of my proposed solution
- Some suggestions for future work
Most posts have comments enabled, and I encourage visitors to contribute their opinions. I only ask that the comments be civil and aligned with the post. You will find links to my social media accounts below, as well as a link to email me. Thanks for visiting!
