Hi there!

This is my blog, where I share various ideas about building AI products and companies.

Past 10 years I have been building products at the intersection of machine learning, robotics, NLP, and computer vision.

I started two startups in the space:

  • Blue Vision Labs (2016-2018) developing large-scale localisation and mapping (SLAM) cloud backend for AR and robotics (acquired by Lyft).

  • Coram AI (2021-) developing video AI systems for businesses.

I also served as a Head of Research at Lyft Level 5 and Woven by Toyota where I led teams building ML planning and simulation technology for self-driving cars.

In my endeavours I built teams from scratch by sourcing and hiring difficult-to-find deep tech talent and managing its execution. Whenever possible I also like to get my hands dirty and contribute hands-on across the full product stack (ML, experiments design, backend, frontend, devops).

I like to attend research conferences, blog and do angel investing. If you are interested in my work or are building something interesting that I can help with, do get in touch.
