Summary
👤
SeniorJohn Nguyen is a senior software engineer in the San Francisco Bay Area with a decade of experience building algorithms, systems, and ML-powered autonomous systems. Currently at Anduril Industries working on the Ghost program, he specializes in computer vision, controls, and big data mining to bridge perception and real-time control. His background spans startups and large tech—co‑founder/CTO of a YC-backed stealth startup that retrofitted railcars for autonomy and engineering roles at Meta and Amazon—showing both product-driven experimentation and production-grade optimization. He has taught Stanford CS recitations on computer vision and language embeddings, translating research techniques like contrastive learning into practical systems. Notably, he combines hands-on embedded work (sensor PCBs, Raspberry Pi controllers) with scalable software (Spark, distributed load-testing) and a long history of "code-monkeying since '09." He’s passionate about advancing the intersection of AI and autonomy, with a track record of turning novel vision and control ideas into deployable systems.
