As a Software Engineering Manager at Argo, I led a team of engineers in the development and implementation of advanced algorithms for object detection. My responsibilities included managing and mentoring the team, collaborating with cross-functional teams, and driving project timelines to ensure successful delivery of high-quality perception modules. Our efforts resulted in a significant increase in detection accuracy and efficiency, positioning the company as a leader in the industry.

Cupertino, California, Us

I was hired as a machine learning software expert in the Apple Special Projects Group to work on advanced technology next-generation products. I was directly responsible for object detection in sensor data and training deep neural networks for object detection and scene segmentation. I implemented network architectures and new algorithms and tested their feasibility with respect to performance and runtime. I defined and discussed data requirement and reviewed code.

Gerlingen-Schillerhöhe, Baden-Wuerttemberg, De

I was hired as a machine learning expert to conduct research on object detection for applications in video surveillance and automotive safety. I led design, development, and testing of object detection algorithms, and participated in scientific and Bosch-internal technical conferences. I planned research projects and presented results to senior management, and assembled and managed small teams of co-researchers as needed. Past successes:- Developed novel object detection algorithms with patented technology for speeding up object detection. Successfully transferred new object detection implementations from research to Bosch business units (video surveillance and robotics). - Team leader (with 3 person team) for Multi-Class Object Detection project. Developed new approaches to efficiently detect multiple classes in video streams. Spearheaded successful presentation and technology transfer to Bosch’s automotive business unit. - Designed and implemented a distributed machine learning framework with focus on computer vision problems using millions of data samples and billions of image features. Presented findings to the Head of Research at Bosch and Bosch internal conferences. Successfully trained new object detectors with this framework.- Selected for Bosch’s internal manager training program.

Augsburg, Bavaria, De

I conducted research in machine learning and computer vision. I taught classes in programming and machine learning to undergraduate and graduate students, and published papers in top-tier conferences and journals. I was proud to have:- Selected, managed, and mentored a team of 12 student assistants.- Served as interim administrator of Computer Science Department. - Pioneered advances in how users interact with machine learning algorithms.

Berkeley, Ca, Us

I spent 1 year in the computer vision group led by Professor Trevor Darrell. I researched active machine learning with multiple views for computer vision. Notably, I:- Collaborated with other researchers and published a paper on forensic camera identification.
