The most amazing...
...thing I've accomplished was founding a startup, Pixelent, aiming to revolutionize teleoperation of robots with an advanced, stereoscopic vision system.
Work Experience
Senior Consultant and Developer
QuasarLabs
- Developed and implemented novel technologies and execute data science projects for European companies. I was responsible for carrying out projects from the conceptual phase through requirements definition, development, and deployment.
- Developed a web platform for energy consumption monitoring, visualization, and forecasting for the printing industry using machine learning.
- Created a shop floor and cloud connectivity solution for industrial machinery using open communication models.
- Designed an ultra-low power IoT wearable device powered by an energy harvester and software stack to acquire and visualize data on an Android device.
Founder
Entrepreneur First
- Generated deep-tech business ideas in the field of industry 4.0 and smart factory, and validated their feasibility and potential.
- Contacted hundreds of stakeholders: potential customers, technology providers, and industry experts for insights and market validation.
- Networked with a global community of entrepreneurs and innovators.
Postdoctoral Researcher
CNR-STIIMA, Italian National Research Council
- Developed an intelligent machine component: smart CNC spindle. I developed a sensory system, an embedded edge node (IoT), algorithms for analysis of acquired data, and communications with other systems, including a cloud back end.
- Created a high-performance, GPU-accelerated implementation of Eulerian motion magnification algorithm to amplify micromotions of objects in high-speed video feeds.
- Modeled, simulated, and optimized a discrete-manufacturing system for metal parts production to improve overall performance (minimize net present cost) and decrease environmental impact.
- Conceived, obtained funds, and executed research projects. I established and managed relationships with relevant industrial partners and published research findings in top-tier scientific journals.
- Mentored, coordinated, and led several early-stage researchers and senior students in carrying out research projects or thesis work.
Co-founder and CEO
Pixelent
- Created a working prototype of a stereoscopic vision system for teleoperation of unmanned vehicles, consisting of a robotic dual camera head, an image acquisition platform based on NVidia Tegra, and a software stack for streaming and VR rendering.
- Sat at the table on multiple occasions with investors and entrepreneurs looking for means to VC fund my business.
- Won a startup award at the "Kraków Business Starter" competition (second place out of 109 contenders).
- Led a team of two developers (hardware and software) in a pre-seed startup to develop an MVP. I defined technical requirements, supervised execution, and reviewed deliverables.
Early Stage Researcher
CNR-ITIA, Italian National Research Council
- Created physics-based mathematical models to predict the energy expenditure of CNC machines during production. These numerical digital-twins were composed of analytical, numerical, and simulation sub-models.
- Developed a sophisticated, hierarchical optimization algorithm to minimize energy demand and processing rate of industrial machines, introducing optimal machine parameter set-up and management policy choice.
- Performed cost-effectiveness analysis of various policies for manufacturing system management applied to industrial partners use-case.
- Collaborated and synchronized my work with other researchers, research groups, and partners, disseminating obtained research results in top-tier scientific journals and conferences.
Junior R&D Specialist
Rcc Nova
- Initialized and developed a product line of embedded controllers for the railway industry: a tram pantograph control system and train vacuum sanitary system. Yield from that project constituted a fair portion of the company's revenue.
- Participated in industrial measurement (NVH) campaigns for international customers.
- Performed software testing for an international client whose main product was a software suite for industrial measurements.
Experience
Energy Monitoring and Forecasting Web Application
Hierarchical Modeling and Optimization Framework for Machine Energy Prediction
My work included using regression methods for model identification and sophisticated optimization algorithms to minimize energy use and ensure the highest productivity. I was responsible for the delivery of this project, which being part of a larger European research project, had an allocated budget of €250,000.
