Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDrew Sullivan is a Co-Founder and seasoned software engineer with 11 years of experience specializing in computer vision and embedded systems, currently based in West Lafayette. He blends practical ML model training and data-pipeline know-how with hands-on CV algorithm development—shipping lane-tracking and camera-to-world transformations for autonomous vehicles and UAS identification systems. Drew’s background at Purdue clubs taught him to navigate organizational complexity and communicate effectively across technical teams, making him as comfortable in leadership and product-facing roles as he is in low-level optimization. Now a Senior Software Engineer on Microsoft Teams-style projects and co-founding Thorns, he brings a pragmatic, systems-minded approach that bridges research-grade models and production constraints. An underappreciated strength is his experience generating synthetic datasets, which accelerates model development where real-world data are scarce.
