Work Experience
- Senior Robotics Engineer (12.2026 - current)
- Senior Computer Vision Engineer (05.2023 - 11.2026)
- Magic Leap, Inc., Zürich (CH)
- Improved tracking robustness and user experience while reducing SLAM estimation error across edge cases, as validated by accuracy metrics and KPI benchmarks, by developing C++/Python sensor fusion, VIO, and online calibration pipelines for AR/VR/XR headsets.
- Worked as an external vendor for Google XR, contributing to advanced perception algorithms and spatial intelligence software for Google’s next-generation AI-powered AR smart glasses.
- PhD Candidate / Scientific Researcher (04.2018 - 04.2023)
- ETH Zürich, Zürich (CH)
- Advanced the state of the art in autonomous navigation, multi-robot coordination, and SLAM, as demonstrated by papers in top-tier robotics venues (ICRA, IROS, 3DV, RA-L), by designing and implementing novel classical and deep-learning motion planning and state estimation algorithms.
- Computer Vision Research Intern (09.2022 - 12.2022)
- Magic Leap, Inc., Zürich (CH)
- Developed a solution to critical scale-drift challenges in AR tracking, as validated by improved scale estimation accuracy across thermal operational ranges, by architecting a C++/Python online multi-camera calibration pipeline that modelled thermal induced focal length shifts.
- Research Assistant (11.2017 - 01.2018)
- ETH Zürich, Zürich (CH)
- Enabled low-cost spatial perception for robotics research, achieving microsecond level hardware synchronization, by designing and building an Arduino-controlled camera-IMU rig.
- Software Engineer Intern (06.2016 - 08.2016)
- Schindler Aufzüge AG, Ebikon, Lüzern (CH)
- Improved real-time tracking and operational safety for an autonomous elevator installation robot, as demonstrated by continuous telemetry monitoring inside high rise shafts, by developing a C-based graphical user interface.
