• Senior Machine Learning Engineer

  • Jan 2023 - Present

  At PD we generate synthetic data to improve computer vision models and pipelines. I spend my time building 2D and 3D vision models to take advantage of synthetic data, and finding ways to improve our data generation. I spend most of our time on autonomous driving but have also worked with drones and other CV-enabled devices.

• Machine Learning Engineer

  • Aug 2021 - Jan 2023

  I focus on improving computer vision models with synthetic data. Our team works on 2D and 3D object detection and semantic segmentation, as well as other CV tasks such as depth estimation and optical flow. I work extensively with both camera and LiDAR data. We also work on improving synthetic data with computer vision through a variety of domain adaptation techniques.
