Lorenza Prospero
I met Sameen during the interview process for a Junior Computer Vision engineer position at Disperse, a startup developing solutions to improve construction productivity. He immediately struck me and my colleagues as very knowledgeable and easy to work with, as he solved the computer vision case study with ease and proposing interesting ideas. Needless to say, he also comfortably passed the coding and team-fit interviews. Immediately after he joined he was tasked with solving one of the company's outstanding open problems. He addressed this challenge with enthusiasm, very quickly learning his way around the company's tech stack and making rapid progress. From day one he actively participated in all the computer vision team discussions, contributing with insightful comments. During the time we worked together, I was impressed by Sameen's passion and motivation. I firmly believe that he posseses the skills and the mindset to successfully tackle any problem he may encounter as a Computer Vision/ML engineer. I'm sure he will be a great addition to any team he will join in the future!
