PhD in Mechanical Engineering  —  Mathematical Optimization  ·  ML & Perception Engineer @ Doosan Robotics
Mathematical optimization is the through-line — numerical optimization, surrogate modeling & state estimation, carried from theory into 3D perception, sensor fusion, and production systems.

• 🎓 PhD in Mechanical Engineering, specialized in mathematical optimization — numerical optimization, surrogate modeling, state estimation (all degrees Cum Laude)
• 🤖 ML & Perception Engineer @ Doosan Robotics (prev. bitsensing) — 3D perception, sensor fusion & robotics AI across camera · radar · LiDAR
• 🏭 Shipped camera/radar/LiDAR multi-sensor perception to mass production — 200+ deployments across 8 countries, −51% fusion error · 10 patents · 6 peer-reviewed papers
• 📈 On the side, I build a full open-source quant stack — market-data APIs, a collection pipeline, and backtesting engines
• 🛰️ Every sensor, every modality — RGB/stereo/structured-light cameras, 4D imaging radar, LiDAR, IMU/GPS, point clouds & RF signals, 3D scans, video, and financial time-series; few data types I haven't shipped with

Market-data APIs feed a collection pipeline into TimescaleDB that the research layer reads — plus a standalone, live-parity crypto engine.
