Bijan Haney is a Director of Engineering in New York with a decade of experience building production-grade computer vision and ML platforms for robotics and edge deployment. He progressed at Viam from robotics engineer to leading and now directing the Machine Learning and Computer Vision teams, translating research prototypes into reliable systems for real-time inference. His background includes senior research work on few-shot and fine-grained vision models and hands-on expertise with PyTorch and Detectron2, plus practical ops experience maintaining GPU workstations and CI-driven C++ codebases. Earlier physics research at CERN informs his rigorous, data-driven approach to uncertainty quantification and high-throughput data pipelines. He pairs deep technical knowledge with cross-functional leadership—having started company-wide seminars and led detector operations teams—so he’s as comfortable mentoring engineers as shipping scalable vision stacks.
