Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolChristopher Choi is a software engineer specializing in computer vision and visual-inertial sensor calibration with 14 years of experience and a PhD focus in robotics from Imperial College London. He has driven production-grade SLAM and VIO systems at Niantic and previously accelerated calibration and mapping pipelines at Meta and Wayve—achieving multi-fold runtime improvements and devising quality metrics to flag bad poses. Comfortable across research and product delivery, he has built interactive real-time calibration tools, multi-camera calibrators now in production, and contributed to large open-source projects by improving API docs and core configuration for CDAP. Based in London, he blends deep academic training with hands-on systems engineering, and often optimizes both algorithms and their engineering pipelines to make research techniques robust enough for deployment.
