About

I am an Engineering Manager at NVIDIA Automotive, with 12+ years of experience in deep learning, computer vision, and ML systems optimization for edge deployment. I drive the delivery of production-ready AI solutions for global OEMs like Volvo, Toyota, and Mercedes-Benz, focusing on performance, scalability, and power efficiency on NVIDIA SoCs (Xavier, Orin, Thor). My expertise spans: Deep Learning Acceleration: CUDA, TensorRT, INT8/FP16 quantization, hardware-software co-design. Model Optimization: CNNs, Vision Transformers, and LLMs for automotive-grade AI. Technical Leadership: Guiding execution and enabling customer success. Previously, I developed cutting-edge medical imaging AI at Stryker and advanced computer vision algorithms at Samsung and Qualcomm. I hold a Master’s degree from IISc Bangalore and am passionate about pushing the boundaries of AI performance and efficiency for real-world deployment. Let’s connect if you’re interested in automotive AI, edge ML systems, or deep learning acceleration.
