Summary
Austin Shin is a senior robotics and systems integration engineer with 11 years of experience building perception-driven medical and industrial automation systems. Currently at Petal Surgical, he specializes in bringing research-grade vision and control algorithms into production—translating PyTorch prototypes to TensorFlow, containerizing metric pipelines, and defining UI/UX-informed system requirements for clinical workflows. His background includes leading multi-view localization and deep-learning tracking efforts at Johnson & Johnson that achieved millimeter-level accuracy and high ID consistency, and developing real-time visual servoing and calibration solutions for surgical robotics. He blends hands-on software and algorithm development (ROS, C++, Python, PyTorch/TensorFlow) with user-centered evaluation, having run internal user studies and automated performance analysis to quantify tradeoffs between accuracy and usability. Based in Rancho Cucamonga, he pairs academic rigor from Johns Hopkins and Harvey Mudd with practical, deployment-focused engineering across regulated healthcare settings.
