Lead development of full-stack robotic manipulation systems integrating RGB-D vision, force sensing, kinematic and motion planning

Built and shipped real-time video AI features (background blur, background replacement, gestures) powering production WebRTC applications.

Architected low-latency media processing, telemetry and observability systems to improve reliability, latency and product experience at scale.

Headed sensor algorithms, machine learning and data science. Managed 2 full-time engineers and 2 contractors.

• Developed LSTM based model to recognize autonomous driving from telemetry logs. Achieving 84% recall and 82% precision on classification.

• Architect of risk maps that map accident probability at every road, intersection, ramp, city and county.

• Risk maps were built upon > 7.3M accidents, 30M traffic data point, 20M road info. Used Kernel Density Estimation (KDE) to build risk maps correlated with actual accident locations occurrences at R2 of > 0.99.

• Engineering and Product head for SafeRoutes, a unique product in the intersections of maps, navigation and risk algorithms. 81% of users reported loving the product experience in Beta tests.

Mobility insurance startup focussing on real-time, contextual accident risk prediction algorithms for telematics & UBI.

• Headed product vision & strategy, customer discovery, partnership, fundraising & hiring.

• Headed development of algorithms and risk models, involving tasks such as data collection, modeling, simulations & analysis.

• Collected >1.5 million traffic events along with geolocated traffic, weather, and route data.

• Modeled accident risk with respect to route, traffic, weather & telematic sensors data. Geolocation/GIS/Mapping of risk distribution using Kernel density estimators.

• Integrate web services, mapping applications with telematics for mobile app user interface (Various Google APIs, Here API, INRIX API, DarkSky API, Climatology)

Software, hardware, instrumentation & calibration algorithms for custom sensor product development. Part of the team that developed and launched the 1st generation 3D touch sensor for iPhones.
