Pillar: Human-AI Interaction
Overview
During my engineering tenure at Lutron Electronics, I co-designed and engineered next-generation distributed lighting, HVAC, and energy control architectures.
Key innovations resulted in granted US and International Patents:
- US Patent 12,602,020: Load control systems responsive to occupant locations and mobile devices.
- US Patent 12,127,317: Digital messaging protocols for load control networks.
- Built robust firmware running on 32-bit microcontrollers, verified through automated hardware-in-the-loop testbeds.
