HIGHLIGHTED PROJECT
When an 80,000-pound autonomous truck is pulled over by law enforcement, who—or what—answers?
Through an 8-month capstone partnership with Carnegie Mellon University and Torc Robotics, we designed AViD, a mobile application that facilitated interactions between law enforcement and self-driving trucks operating in level 4 autonomy.

ABOUT ME
Hi, I’m Amanda! I love building things that make people’s lives a little easier and a lot more enjoyable. Outside of work, you might find me with a book on my front porch, digging in my garden, or deep in a rabbit hole researching the Piccolinis of the 1800s.
I’m a former Division I volleyball player, and these days I coach with Club Gold South and play in local leagues around Pittsburgh. Each year, I manage to talk a few friends into joining my annual “I didn’t train enough for this” half marathon—it's become our favorite bad idea.
I’m passionate about animals, especially the dogs I foster through Paws Across Pittsburgh. And I can’t forget Ronin, my adopted HeroRAT who just broke a Guinness World Record (yes, really—and yes, you can adopt him too!).
