~ experience
Head of Engineering
Anuba Technologies
May 2025 - Present
- Architected a real-time QSR monitoring pipeline on NVIDIA Jetson, processing live RTSP camera feeds with YOLO-based detection, reducing manual monitoring effort by ~70%.
- Built a FastAPI + PostgreSQL real-time dashboard backend ingesting inference metadata from Jetson pipelines, serving live monitoring data to a web interface for restaurant operators.
Computer Vision Engineer
Accu-Label Inc.
Dec 2024 - May 2025
- Deployed a fully edge-based CV system on NVIDIA Jetson, detecting apples on a conveyor belt at 9.6 ft/min, calculating precise firing coordinates for an automated labeling machine.
- Optimized YOLOv8s segmentation model via TensorRT for on-device inference, achieving sub-100ms latency per frame, and integrated Orbbec 3D depth camera for real-time pixels-per-inch calibration.
Computer Vision Research Engineer
DFKI (German Research Center for AI)
Jun 2024 - Dec 2024
- Developed a custom algorithm to address tracking drift in segmentation-based pipelines, reducing ID switches by ~30% and improving overall tracking consistency.
- Trained custom segmentation models for vehicle wheel segmentation, enabling precise inter-vehicle distance estimation by measuring wheel-to-wheel pixel distances.
