As a child, I spent many evenings in front of my PC coding and building cool projects for my eyes only. After the realization set in that I will not be making it as a competitive swimmer (wasn’t even close), I found it rewarding to create and design ideas that can benefit others.

Now, I put that passion for technology to work as a Computer Vision & Deep Learning researcher for Intuitive.

Before life at Intuitive, I was a Computer Vision and Deep Learning Lead at CommonGround-AI and Mantis Vision, where I specialized in developing cutting edge 3D imaging technology.

An additional venture I am very proud of was taking part as a system engineer at Signa sealing system which I founded. At Signa I was the sole engineer responsible for development of hardware, firmware and software. Today Signa sealing systems are installed in more than 250 Semi trailers preventing fuel theft and adulteration.
