Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolIan Esper is a Robotic and Data Science Engineer with a Ph.D. in Mechatronics and over a decade of hands-on experience building intelligent automation for industrial settings, particularly the food industry. He designs end-to-end AI/MLOps platforms and has architected production systems combining Clojure APIs, Triton inference, MLFlow and Prefect to operationalize computer-vision models for hygiene classification in abattoirs. His career blends deep embedded and firmware expertise—from multi-threaded Raspberry Pi systems and motor drivers to telemetry and inspection robots—with leadership roles in R&D and software teams across Brazil and Norway. Notably, his PhD work translated directly into EU and industry projects (ROBUTCHER, EyeAM, MeaTable) that advanced 3D reconstruction and adaptive cutting for cognitive robotic platforms. He pairs rigorous academic publishing with pragmatic product delivery, and often bridges low-level hardware integration and scalable ML deployments in the same project.
