Summary
Jeremy Castagno is a Senior Engineer and roboticist with 11 years of experience building machine learning, computer vision, and simulation systems, currently advancing mapping and routing infrastructure at Ride with GPS. He holds a PhD in Robotics from the University of Michigan and combines academic rigor—former assistant professor and published researcher—with hands-on engineering across C++, Python, and Unreal Engine-based simulations. His work spans real-time sensing for autonomous systems (LiDAR/camera integration), large-scale deep learning for geospatial problems, and production data pipelines that improve routing quality and reliability. Jeremy has a track record of turning research into practical tools (e.g., Polylidar3D) and brings cross-domain experience from aerospace to energy and web stacks, enabling robust decision-making in safety-critical and consumer-facing systems.
