Phillip Schmidt is a Sr. Staff Computer Vision Systems Engineer @ Qualcomm at Qualcomm. He possess expertise in matlab, simulink, c++, image processing, opencv and 30 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "I managed Phillip for about 3 years and happy to say that he was a pleasure to work with and have on the team. Phillip is always curious and actively pursues learning opportunities through courses and readings. From the beginning he helped us improve our collaboration processes and tools as well as contributed to our ML Ops infrastructure. In terms of the technical work, he developed deep learning-based vision models and relentlessly pursued improvements to the models and training until they met and exceeded product requirements. Phillip is a robotics and Visual SLAM expert and was able to contribute and educate others in those areas. Phillip will be an asset to any team and I highly recommend him.", "I had the pleasure of working with Phillip for the past 3 years. He is a brilliant AI engineer and very meticulous in every task he undertakes. He is a great team player and is always ever ready to help and share knowledge. I have personally learnt a lot from him. He has always introduced the best git and software practices. He is one of the most detailed oriented coleagues i have worked with. Any team will gain a lot by having Phillip.", and "I managed Phillip Schmidt for 2 years while he worked on computer vision and robotics solutions for Intel's RealSense division. During that time, he rose from being a relatively junior member of the team to being one of its leaders. He has expert knowledge in robotics (system development, control, ROS, etc.), Kalman filtering (adaptivce filtering, time-delayed measurements, multi-rate systems, etc.), and computer vision topics including SLAM and calibration. He is a very productive software engineer in both C/C++ and Python, and his code is of very high quality. He is a fantastic team player and collaborator - everyone on our team enjoyed working with him, and he received formal recognition multiple times from other teams with whom he collaborated. He represented us more than any other engineer at conferences and trade shows, by giving presentations and interacting with attendees, and was also a favorite of our sales/marketing for bringing to customer meetings. But perhaps Phillip's greatest strength is his strong, results-oriented work ethic: he drives projects to completion in a timely fashion, by thoughtfully planning his work, applying his strong analytical and problem-solving skills, adapting his approach along the way if necessary, and learning new tools and algorithms as needed. He does this not just to meet his own goals, but also those of the team: he pays attention to the big picture, and on multiple occasions volunteered for tasks outside his main focus, doing whatever was necessary to help the team deliver critical milestones on time. In short, Phillip consistently showed himself to be versatile, highly productive, and very dependable. Phillip would be a tremendous addition to any project in robotics, SLAM, and related areas. I highly recommend him for your organization, and am happy to provide additional details on request. Sincerely, Michael Harville"
