About Me
I am a Computer Vision Research Engineer specializing in 3D reconstruction, geometric optimization and high-performance C++ systems. I develop production ready measurement systems for manufacturing pipelines and explore the use of foundation models in generalizing and optimizing the workflow. Outside of work, I explore the use of AI for underwater coral reef mapping, which was also part of my research during my PhD.

Experience
Computer Vision Research Engineer
Hyundai Motor Group Innovation Center Singapore- Designing highly accurate and precise mapping and localization algorithms for manufacturing using various RGBD cameras.
Data Analytic Research Intern
Temasek Laboratories at SUTD- Researched and designed multiple prediction models to recognize hand gestures using data from Inertial Measurement Unit
- Collected dataset of hand gestures and tested the prediction models on the dataset using pandas and scikit-learn packages
- Integrated the model within the Robotic Operating System (ROS) framework to be used in robots
Deep Learning Research Intern
DSO Information Systems Department- Researched and designed a deep-learning multi-task CNN model using Pytorch for attribute prediction to assist in person re-identification across non-overlapping cameras
- Presented to the head of the Information Systems department on the findings and applicability of such model in their overall project
- Self-learnt the knowledge of implementing and optimizing CNN across multiple deep-learning frameworks within 2 months of the internship
