Work
-
2026.05 - present Sausalito, CA
Software Engineer - Perception
Seneca
Building the perception stack for autonomous drones — automated data annotation and training pipelines, custom depth models, and LiDAR-based detection deployed on the edge.
- Built an automated data annotation and training pipeline by adapting SAM3 and FoundationStereo, used to train YOLO and custom depth models for drone-specific scenarios
- Designed and deployed an end-to-end fine-tuning pipeline for LiDAR-based human detection on AGX-Orin
-
2025.08 - 2026.03 Burlingame, CA
Machine Learning Engineer, Computer Vision
Meta - Reality Labs
Computer vision for AR/VR perception — segmentation, stereo depth, synthetic data generation, and 3D scene understanding.
- Optimized a hand-object segmentation pipeline, improving GPU utilization by 75%, and integrated SAM3 with box + text prompting into an auto-labeling and QA workflow
- Built end-to-end stereo depth estimation pipelines using a customized NVIDIA Foundation Stereo model for real-world AR/VR perception workloads
- Developed a synthetic data generation pipeline from low-quality multi-view AR/VR captures using Gaussian Splatting (2D/3DGS), evaluating 4DGS variants for fidelity and temporal consistency on a CVPR-scale dataset
- Fine-tuned a language-grounded 3D-VLM for scene understanding and geometry-aware AR/VR panel placement, delivering results on 360K samples
-
2024.04 - 2024.09 San Jose, CA
Geometric Computer Vision
Vimaan Robotics
Detection, segmentation, and camera calibration for warehouse inventory automation.
- Deployed a transformer-based (DETR) detection and segmentation system on cloud for pallet/ground recognition, improving mAP50-95 by 5% by customizing decoder outputs
- Developed a camera calibration module with noise modeling, achieving pose estimation accuracy within 0.25 degrees and 2 cm
