Sean Segal

I'm currently a research scientist at Uber ATG R&D where I work on deep learning research for the development of self-driving cars. I'm also a PhD student in Computer Science at the University of Toronto supervised by Professor Raquel Urtasun.

I obtained my Masters in Computer Science at University of Toronto in 2020, supervised by Professor Raquel Urtasun. Prior to that, I did my Bachelor's at Brown University studying Computer Science and Economics.

Projects

Here are some projects I've worked on over the years. These include coursework, side projects, and work I've done during internships.

	Carla RL Gym GitHub OpenAI Gym environment for the CARLA self-driving simulator with implementations of multiple common RL baselines (e.g., A2C, ACKTR, PPO). Originally written as part of a final project for Prof. Jimmy Ba’s deep reinforcement learning course. Now has 50+ stars on Github!
	Javascript Imports LSP Server GitHub An LSP server for Javascript imports, providing Diagnostics, Code Actions and Autocompletion for Javascript Imports in any LSP-compatible IDE. Written during my time at Facebook on the Nuclide team. Most of the code is open source and can be found here.
	T.I.N.C is not Catan website / GitHub Fully functional Settlers of Catan emulator online. Also offers advanced economic features including decimal resource counts and dynamic port exchange rates based on resource supply & demand. Play Online Now!
	Simplex Solver GitHub Solves Linear Programs in Python using the Simplex Method. Originally written as an assignment for Optimization Methods for Finance course at Brown University.
