Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolBurak Ercan is a Principal Computer Vision & Embedded AI Engineer with a Ph.D. in neuromorphic event-based vision and over a decade of industrial experience delivering real-time AI systems for defense, aviation, robotics, smart cities, transportation, and healthcare. He combines hands-on embedded software expertise (C/C++, ARM SIMD, FPGA) with advanced deep learning deployment work on NVIDIA Jetson platforms, routinely squeezing 2–6× performance gains through TensorRT, CUDA kernels, NPP optimizations and real-time Linux tuning. As a technical lead and product owner he has built end-to-end pipelines from data collection and federated learning to LLM-enhanced audio/ASR interpretation, bringing research-grade algorithms into production. His background spans low-level RTOS and hardware abstraction layers for mission-critical systems to modern ML-driven perception stacks, giving him a rare full-stack view of embedded AI. Based in Ankara, he is a lifelong learner who blends academic rigor with practical engineering trade-offs—often finding performance wins in color conversion, multithreading, and latency stabilization that aren’t obvious from model improvements alone.
