Harshil Patel is an Advanced Machine Learning Engineer with nine years of experience building perception-driven robotic systems and deploying them in real-world maritime environments. He led development and global deployment of AI-Ris, a vision-based situational awareness system for vessels, combining ROS/ROS2 integration, edge deployments, and operational telemetry to refine performance at sea. With an MS in Robotics from WPI and a strong mechanical engineering background from BITS Pilani, he bridges hardware and software—having prototyped robots from PVC and servos and designed sensor-driven data pipelines and simulators to accelerate algorithm iteration. Comfortable with full-stack ML engineering practices (CI/CD, GCP, Jenkins, BalenaCloud) and close customer collaboration, he turns research-grade perception algorithms into productionized, shipboard systems. Notably, he has hands-on experience geolocating on-surface objects and automating large-scale data collection/annotation to close the loop between field trials and model improvement.
