About me

Love innovative projects (especially when pixels are involved). Challenged to bring the right pieces together. My creative hobby: how can tools be useful beyond their original scope of application?

Computer Vision, Signal Processing, Sensing, ML, Data & Signal Analysis

I have been developing algorithms and working on computer vision systems for over two decades. At universities, large companies, and a startup / SME.

From hardware, optics, and system integration, (multi-) camera models and calibration. On to compression, image signal and 3D reconstruction, signal processing. Lastly machine learning, and deep learning from training data management to release management.

• Mobile Computer Vision SDK Development (iOS, Android, C++, Python, Cordova, .NET MAUI)
• ML Deployment Pipeline for Mobile CV SDK
• Mobile App development, mostly iOS, some Android, .NET
• UI and UX concepts (focussing on camera based UIs)
• Various algorithmic, runtime and data handling contributions in a big data Python customer project
• Project Management & Controlling
• Terms of use, Privacy policy, General terms and conditions documents
• Publicly Funded Projects: proposal, management, controlling, reporting
• Patents and Norms
