Work Experience

Senior Software Engineer (Machine Learning)

2021 - 2025
Cariad
  • Trained multi-camera object detection and image segmentation networks.
  • Developed distributed training pipelines for multi-task learning. Supported ML infrastructure pipelines for multiple development teams and reduced training time from weekly to daily.
  • Managed model releases and stakeholders of feature teams.
Technologies: Computer Vision, Self-driving Cars, Deep Learning, Release Management, Semantic Segmentation

Software Engineer

2018 - 2021
Hella Aglaia Mobile Vision GmbH
  • Researched and developed 3D object detection methods with deep learning for LiDAR point clouds.
  • Worked on a multi-camera and LiDAR fusion approach for object detection from prototype to production. Grew the team from one to five members.
  • Supervised a master thesis student on dynamic occupancy grid mapping with particle filter using radar data. Led to a joint publication.

Back-end Mapping Specialist

2015 - 2015
Wonderbly
  • Analyzed 35,000 satellite images for image quality problems, including stitching quality, to guide the second product release risk assessment. After selling a million books and getting Google ventures on board, this was the company's second product.
  • Developed a reactive web labeling tool for satellite images.
  • Invited a team of undergraduate students to label 35,000 satellite images and obtain a week-long internship.

Image Processing Engineer

2014 - 2014
Skin Analytics
  • Pivoted the company strategy by developing a dermoscopic mole segmentation method. This was the foundation of the company's rescue funding of £500,000 after running into startup cash-flow issues.
  • Completed a government research grant worth £100,000 and focused on full-body mole screening.
  • Supported the computer vision team, which developed a dry-skin beauty classifier and mobile application.
Technologies: C++, Python, OpenCV, Image Segmentation, Image Classification, Image Stitching, Jupyter, Jupyter Notebook, C, Algorithms, Artificial Intelligence (AI)

Master Thesis Student

2013 - 2013
BMW
  • Developed a massively parallel particle filter and evaluated the classifier performance regarding occupancy grid mapping and static or dynamic classification.
  • Researched a novel particle filter approach and facilitated better understanding and evaluation of such method inside the R&D group, which led to new publications.
  • Combined the particle filter approach with Dempster-Shafer grids, which led to the publication of a new IEEE paper.

Experience

ZapBox: Mixed Reality Kit for $30 by Zappar

https://www.zappar.com/zapbox
This is a market-based mixed reality solution for mobile phones. I helped develop the R&D director's vision of room-scale 3D marker reconstruction methods that allowed fast and precise mobile phone localization. A new pattern detection method was developed. A 3D pose graph with ambiguous poses was initialized and disambiguated. Ultimately, I used a bundle adjustment to optimize the reconstruction and detected loop closures.
