Summary
Arman Garakani is a seasoned computer vision and biomedical imaging engineer with over three decades of experience building production-grade vision systems, now leading DP Algo Frameworks at Roche. He co-founded Reify and holds patents for unsupervised image-sequence analysis used to quantify biological motion, and has repeatedly translated research-grade algorithms into customer-deployed products. His hands-on fluency spans C++, ObjC, Swift and Python, and his work ranges from industrial machine vision at Cognex to clinical-grade photo monitoring for dermatology and cardiac stem-cell research. Arman blends deep algorithmic skill (sub-pixel edge detection, rotation/scale-invariant registration) with product-focused engineering—designing capture workflows, focus tracking, and feature representations that improve real-world data quality. Known for constructive challenge and technical leadership, he builds small teams that punch above their weight on hard measurement problems. Based in Cambridge, MA, he brings a rare mix of vintage CV expertise and modern biomedical application impact.
