Selected technical projects spanning 3D perception, efficient edge deployment, and inertial navigation. For role-by-role history, see the career timeline.

  • Multi-Camera 3D Perception Pipeline — Neubility
    2025 – Present
    Architected a production multi-camera 3D perception system integrating MonoDETR-based 3D object detection, open-vocabulary detection, semantic segmentation, and Depth Anything V2 metric depth estimation. Achieved sub-30 ms end-to-end inference on a single NVIDIA Jetson Orin SoC via a full PTQ/QAT INT8–FP16 TensorRT/ONNX pipeline: 3.2× model size reduction, 8× inference speedup, <1% mAP degradation.
