Summary
Diego Schmaedech is a Computer Vision and Image Processing specialist with over a decade of hands-on experience building applied AI solutions across industrial, mining, automotive and mobile domains. With a physics background and a master’s focused on metrology and image analysis, he combines rigorous scientific training with practical product development as founder of several startups delivering custom CV systems and IoT-enabled prototypes. He currently leads computer vision efforts for mining projects at Fingermark and has previously built face liveness, people re-identification and cycle-counting systems for mobile and factory environments. Diego’s work spans end-to-end delivery—from research and PoC to cloud hosting and integration—highlighting a knack for turning academic techniques into reliable production pipelines. An entrepreneur and occasional philosopher, he blends multidisciplinary curiosity with measurable impact, having also led teams on educational and biofeedback software early in his career. Based in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, he’s a pragmatic problem-solver who favors measurable, domain-tailored vision solutions over one-size-fits-all models.
