Bio

I'm a Research Engineer passionate about building intelligent systems that bridge the gap between simulation and real-world deployment. My work focuses on 3D vision, robotics, and deep learning—designing algorithms, developing simulation frameworks, and creating scalable synthetic data pipelines to accelerate machine learning workflows.

At Intel Labs, I've contributed to novel 3D object surface reconstruction methods achieving 90× speedups over traditional approaches, co-developed SPEAR (an open-source photorealistic simulator in Unreal Engine 5), and led automation efforts that cut release times by over 95%. I've also driven evaluation pipelines for diffusion models to optimize for real-world deployment. I'm also actively involved in the academic community as part of the organizing committee for the Embodied AI Workshop at CVPR 2025.

My background spans machine learning, computer vision, DevOps, and software engineering, with hands-on experience in C++, Python, PyTorch, Unreal Engine, and cloud infrastructure. I'm always looking for opportunities to solve complex challenges and push the boundaries of AI-driven systems.
