Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolGeoffrey Daniels is a multidisciplinary software engineer and founder with 11 years of professional experience, currently focused on computer vision and SLAM for robotics and autonomous systems. He holds a PhD in Computer Vision from the University of Bristol and has blended deep research into human vision and locomotion with practical systems engineering across embedded hardware, AR/VR pipelines, and large-scale map production. Geoffrey has led teams and delivered measurable operational improvements—slashing map production costs and speeding ingestion pipelines by 300%—while also building bare-metal hardware solutions and custom HID devices. He founded Polytopy to create bespoke SLAM stacks for autonomous vehicles and recently contributed to subsea and hand-tracking systems at industry-leading companies. Known for pragmatic problem-solving, he pairs academic rigor with a hands-on ethos: his work spans teensy microcontrollers to complex multi-sensor fusion systems. Outside work he remains deeply curious about human navigation and SLAM, following the latest research in his spare time.
