Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAbdó Maranges is a Senior Computer Vision Software Engineer based in Barcelona with 13 years of experience bridging rigorous academic research and production ML systems. He holds a PhD in mathematics (algebraic geometry) and pairs that theoretical depth with low-level systems expertise in C++, Rust and CUDA to deliver efficient, production-ready vision models. His background includes leadership as Director of Engineering at Scaled Robotics and hands-on roles at Synthesia and IMIDomics, where he translated product needs into robust technical solutions. A pragmatic contributor to notable open-source projects—from Dagster orchestration to the ranger file manager and AwesomeWM—he often improves developer ergonomics and edge-case correctness rather than just adding features. Colleagues value his product-focused mindset, emphasis on shared ownership, and talent for reconciling research-grade methods with real-world engineering constraints. He’s equally comfortable refactoring filesystem asset logic as he is optimizing model kernels, bringing both breadth and uncommon depth to computer vision engineering.
