Senior Perception Engineer | Sep 2025 – Present

  • Driving the team's camera–LiDAR sensor-fusion workstream: turning a prototype into a reliable, fully GPU PointPainting pipeline on the car (PTP time sync, calibration, TensorRT segmentation) and evaluating its impact on PointPillars cone detection. Mentoring a junior engineer.
  • Collected a 3,000+ image cone dataset across multiple campus sites and annotated it by cone colour in CVAT, creating the team's reusable data pipeline.
  • Fine-tuned and benchmarked 5 segmentation models (YOLOv11/v12, YOLO26, YOLOv11-P2, RF-DETR) on mIoU, per-class IoU, Dice and latency, and selected RF-DETR for deployment.
