Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolAlexander Millane is a Senior Software Engineer at NVIDIA with a decade of experience building 3D computer vision and robot learning systems, backed by a PhD in Robotics from ETH Zurich. He combines deep academic expertise in autonomous systems with hands-on engineering across embedded software, state estimation, and signal processing from roles in motorsport and mechatronics. At NVIDIA he translates research into scalable robotics solutions, while his open-source contributions — notably rigorous test automation for the voxblox voxel-mapping library — show a penchant for correctness in complex spatial algorithms. Based in Zurich, he balances research rigor with production-focused engineering and a track record of shipping reliable perception and mapping components for real-world robotic platforms.
