Work Experience
Currently Sr. Perception Engineer @ Zipline
Previously @ Uber Elevate and Ambarella working on Computer Vision and ML for Autonomous Vehicles, Embedded Deep Learning
Some of the things I have been working on
- at the intersection of Machine and Computer Vision on topics like SLAM, Visual Odometry, Object Detection, … for Autonomous Vehicles (cars and flying drones)
- on Reinforcement Learning for Controller Synthesis and Properties Falsification
- at the intersection of Programming Languages and Safety, exploring approaches like Transpiling
- Deep Learning on Embedded Platforms, with model compression, pruning and quantization, dealing with the SoCs architecture and on chip hardware accelerators
- also a bit with GAN for Dataset Augmentation and Sim2Real
