Summary
Evan Chien is a Senior Computer Vision Algorithm Researcher with eight years focused on applied vision and robotics, currently driving perception innovation at Zebra Technologies. He brings deep hands-on expertise in Python and C++ and practical mastery of OpenCV, PyTorch, and TensorFlow, grounded in a multidisciplinary background spanning optics, display engineering, and robotics. Prior roles at Garmin and in opto-mechanical engineering gave him rare end-to-end hardware-to-algorithm experience—camera and LCD design, touch firmware tuning, and supplier management—so he excels at taking prototypes into robust production systems. He holds advanced degrees in optical-electronics and robotics from National Taiwan University and Northwestern, and is comfortable bridging research, firmware, and system integration to solve real-world sensing challenges. Notably, his career blends lab-grade algorithm research with field-proven engineering for embedded and industrial applications.
