Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolFabian Schenk is a software engineer and computer vision specialist with eight years of experience, currently working at Meta after roles at Mapillary and as a PhD researcher in real-time RGB-D SLAM and dense 3D reconstruction at Graz University of Technology. His background blends biomedical engineering degrees with a PhD in computer science, and a year abroad at Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, giving him cross-disciplinary strengths in sensor fusion, tracking, and 3D reconstruction. At Mapillary he contributed backend improvements to the widely used OpenSfM Structure-from-Motion pipeline, optimizing performance and refining camera models—work that reflects deep familiarity with mathematical libraries like Eigen and practical system-level refactors. Fabian’s profile combines academic rigor with production engineering, making him adept at turning cutting-edge SLAM research into scalable, maintainable code for real-world applications.
