2024 — 2026
San Diego, CA
• Led multi-store retail pilots, improving computer-vision accuracy and recognition reliability across multiple product categories, boosting customer confidence and enabling pilot expansion.
• Developed and deployed proof-of-concept vision systems that enhanced product and price-tag recognition in grocery retail environments, strengthening data quality and compliance reporting.
• Managed end-to-end training and optimization of machine-learning models, improving performance benchmarks and reducing dependency on external models like SVAI.
• Coordinated multi-store rollouts by aligning engineering, operations, and product teams; standardized processes using RACI frameworks and performance dashboards for scalable execution.
• Established QA benchmarks and automated monitoring to ensure consistent recognition quality and rapid feedback after production code deployment.
• Drove data-driven improvement analysis linking system enhancements to measurable business outcomes, guiding quarterly priorities and supporting large-scale deployment commitments.
2023 — 2023
2023 — 2023
• Developed robotics software, tested it extensively, and validated it for SLAM and autonomous robot navigation.
• Accomplished the deployment of waypoint-driven autonomous navigation systems at multiple client locations.
2018 — 2021
2018 — 2021
Pune Area, India
Process Engineer (Regional Technical Product Manager)
• Designed automated food processing module (80% of the product portfolio) that involved integrating instrumentation aspects to enable automation, pump and valves selection, Heat exchanger designing, Risk assessment and redundancy planning.
• Optimised utility consumption by 40% using PID control for steam, hot and cold-water regulating valves, resulting in 15% cost savings. Developed PLC program to integrate the suggested improvements, which later became standard templates.
• Successfully spearheaded the seamless transfer of the Separator product from Sweden to India, leading an interdisciplinary team of 20 members. Implemented an efficient workflow and ensured the successful execution of orders.
• Orchestrated efficient project development cycles by finalizing deliverables with customers, proactively addressing issues, and optimizing delivery accuracy through strategic cost and quality analyses for critical components. Provided essential customer support and collaborated closely with the supply chain team. Streamlined processes, enhanced customer support efficiency.
Business Process Improvement and Focused Improvement Driver
• Identified and eliminated losses related to Man, Material, Money, and Time, that moderated cost variation to +-3%.
• Developed and launched an excel and PowerBI based tool for costing in collaboration with the Supply Chain team, which resulted in a time savings of 10 minutes per costing operation, further improving efficiency and productivity.
