Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolHrushikesh Budhale is a research engineer and AI specialist with 8 years of experience building AV, UAV, and 3D computer vision systems, now based in the San Francisco Bay Area. He blends academic rigor (M.Eng. in Robotics from UMD) with hands-on production work, having implemented high-fidelity 3D reconstruction platforms, visual odometry for quadrotors, and RL-based local planners for autonomous delivery robots. Comfortable across DL, RL, geometric vision and ROS2 ecosystems, he consistently ships research-to-production solutions—from simulator-trained robot models and intelligent pedestrian environments to collision-aware multi-drone planners. At companies from FlytBase and Nuro to Meta, he focuses on practical impact “one commit at a time,” and often tackles the simulation-to-reality gap that many teams struggle to close.
