I led the mechanical design and development of 3D image capture systems. I served as the Chief test engineer for computer interface, image analysis, rig control and image correction systems.

I trained local and international camera teams on the operations of our 3D camera technology for their productions. I traveled to our clients internationally to provide training and technical services. During my latter years at 3ality, I became a test engineer and development team member on Light-Field and Computational Imaging camera systems development. Being a part of this development team gave me immeasurable experience with robotics, computer vision and machine learning. Show less
