Summary
Asif Patankar is a Senior Artificial Intelligence Research Engineer with a strong foundation in software engineering, image processing, and applied AI across drones, geospatial imagery, and embedded edge systems. With over a decade of hands-on experience spanning teaching, POS and database systems, thermal NDT, and advanced computer vision, he brings a rare blend of practical production deployments and deep research skills. He has designed CUDA-accelerated deblurring pipelines for high-speed drone footage, optimized TensorRT/ONNX engines for Jetson-class devices, and reproduced complex 3D reconstruction and SLAM models using NVIDIA’s Minkowski Engine. Comfortable across the full stack—from ARM cross-compilation and MAVLink drone fleets to AWS-hosted CNNs in mobile apps—he excels at making research work reliably on constrained hardware. A Sejong University master’s graduate with an MBA and a proven record of turning bespoke datasets (including UAV-collected sensors and RGB-D/point cloud sources) into high-F1 models, he is particularly adept at bridging academia-grade algorithms to real-time, industrial applications. Colleagues describe him as a relentless learner who pairs mathematical rigor with pragmatic system design to solve hard visual-data problems.
