Summary
Gerald Mwangi is a Senior Software Architect with 11 years of experience building high-performance computer vision and AI systems, currently leading the Numberfinder platform at VITRONIC. He established ASE GmbH’s software department and drove a radical migration from a monolith to a distributed microservice architecture in Rust with C++/Rust plugins, achieving a tenfold processing speedup for large-scale OCR and object recognition on rail and truck video. Grounded in theoretical and mathematical physics, Gerald blends deep algorithmic insight with pragmatic engineering across Rust, C++, Python, CUDA and GPU-accelerated neural networks. He continually bridges research and production—having contributed publishable work on multimodal registration and developed academic image-processing suites—while also building CI/CD, developer infrastructure and hiring teams. Based in the Rhein-Neckar region, he’s as comfortable tuning DSP and audio neural nets as he is optimizing large-scale vision pipelines.
