About me

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, startup, and freelance.

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.

Requirements Engineering, iOS App Development

I have developed the technical architecture for two early startups. With a close eye on performance, user experience, data security, product development.
