Summary
Akarsh Zingade is a senior machine learning engineer with nine years of experience building production computer vision and deep learning systems across startups and industry leaders like NVIDIA, Cisco, Infrrd and Uber. He has led teams to ship real-time models and SDKs (notably Audio-To-Face-2D and 3D body-pose pipelines at NVIDIA), improved accuracy and inference speed through architecture and data work, and integrated MLOps practices for reliable deployment. His background blends Columbia University research on weakly supervised visual profiling with hands-on automation and systems work at Cisco, where an automation he developed cut a 300-hour task to under an hour. Comfortable prototyping quickly and scaling solutions into products, he pairs technical depth in image classification, detection and similarity with a track record of leadership, awards, and cross-functional delivery.
