Client Success Story:
Autonomous Vehicle Deep Learning System
Challenge: An AV company’s heuristic-based object tracking system produced too many false positives, slowing rollout.Approach: Led a team of 10+ engineers to replace legacy tracking with a deep-learning-based system, including the company’s first graph neural network in production.Result: Delivered a more accurate and reliable perception stack that powered the first-ever fully driverless deployment in a major US city.Takeaway: Moving from rules-based to learning-based perception systems unlocks real-world autonomy at scale.
Client Success Story:
Equity Research Automation
Challenge: A financial research team struggled with manual equity analysis that took hours per company.Approach: Designed and deployed an LLM-driven system for parsing financial filings and generating structured analysis.Result: Cut research time from hours to seconds, enabling analysts to cover more ground, reduce risk exposure, and deliver higher-frequency insights.Takeaway: LLMs, when paired with eval frameworks, can safely augment high-stakes workflows in finance.
Client Success Story:
Geolocation Prototype for Investor Funding
Challenge: A startup needed to prove technical feasibility of a sensor-fusion-based geolocation solution to win funding.Approach: Served as embedded ML lead, architecting and delivering the first sensor-fusion prototype.Result: Prototype secured both investor and government funding and unlocked roadmap to production.Takeaway: The right prototype at the right fidelity can make or break early-stage companies seeking external capital.
