Detail-oriented engineer with expertise in image processing algorithms.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I am a detail-oriented engineer with over 10 years of experience in implementing algorithms for creating, displaying, and processing various digital images. My expertise lies in analyzing signals and data, writing code, testing, and resolving image processing issues. I have a proven track record of developing effective techniques to improve image quality while possessing excellent analytical, communication, problem-solving, and teamwork skills.
Currently, I serve as a Lead Data Scientist at AURA Technologies, where I developed an intelligent visual search engine for ground vehicles and implemented a full lifecycle machine learning solution. My contributions have led to successful SBIR awards and federal contracts. I also mentor junior data scientists, ensuring that our team stays current with emerging research and presents findings effectively.
Previously, I worked as a Senior Computer Vision Engineer, where I improved imaging algorithms and reduced runtime significantly. My experience spans various roles, including research positions at Duke University, where I developed algorithms for pupil tracking and optical coherence tomography imaging. I am passionate about leveraging my skills in machine learning and computer vision to drive innovation in technology.
