Summary
Colin Chen is a Perception Engineer with a decade of experience building computer vision and robotics systems, currently applying his expertise at Anduril Industries in Belmont, CA. He has hands-on experience across the vision stack—from ISP architecture at Facebook Reality Labs to training instance segmentation models using synthetic data at CMU and practical pipeline work comparing poster images on patrolling robots. Comfortable prototyping end-to-end solutions, he combines classical CV (BRISK, RANSAC, OpenCV) with lightweight neural approaches like siamese networks to solve real-world perception problems. Colin’s background blends Robotics and Computer Science degrees with internships spanning research labs and product teams, and he also freelances to explore novel applications outside his full-time role. A detail that sets him apart: he has built realistic synthetic datasets via 3D reconstruction to train models without real annotations, demonstrating a strong focus on data-centric engineering.
