Hardik Dava is a pragmatic Computer Vision Engineer with 4 years of experience building and deploying deep learning systems for 2D/3D perception, from neural radiance fields and diffusion models to edge-optimized object detection and segmentation. Based in Hanover, he blends strong research roots in stereo reconstruction and surgical AR with production experience shipping models to Jetson, EdgeTPU, OAK and other edge devices at companies like Graswald AI and corvitac. He is fluent across PyTorch/TensorFlow/ONNX toolchains, MLOps practices and full-stack APIs (FastAPI/Tornado), and has contributed improvements to high-profile open-source CV projects including supervision and YOLO variants. Notably, his background in laser and photonics informs a hands-on, physics-aware approach to 3D vision problems and synthetic data generation that improves model robustness in real-world deployments.
