About

Welcome to my personal space where I share the photos I enjoy taking, and projects I enjoy building. Always keen to hear what you think about my articles. Get in touch and tell me what can be done better!

Short bio

  • Currently working on self-driving cars as a Staff Software Engineer @ Level 5 (previously part of Lyft, now in Woven Planet).
  • Co-founder and CTO of Blue Vision Labs, a computer vision and augmented reality company that got acquired by Lyft in 2018.
  • Co-author of several papers and patents related to SLAM and self-driving cars.
  • Master of making bad puns and terrible jokes.
  • Since getting my latest camera, I can’t stop taking pictures.
  • I’m fascinated about making computers understand the world through vision.
  • I’m convinced everyone in this world should have a chance for a good life regardless of race, gender, and place of birth. I believe that having good engineering skills can put the less-privilleged amongst us in a better position.
