Summary
Jonathan Byrne is a Principal Engineer specializing in AI, automation and computer vision with over 25 years of programming and research experience and a PhD in evolutionary design optimization. He has applied evolutionary algorithms to real-world structural problems—optimizing pylons, bridges and aircraft—and led research translating scanned models into manufacturable, 3D-printable designs, including work with Ireland’s first academic metal printer. At Intel/Movidius he built compact 3D mapping formats and deep-learning optimizations (quantization, sparsity) and now designs vision systems for wafer production and factory automation. Equally comfortable in distributed high-performance computing and embedded vision on drone hardware, he combines academic rigor with hands-on engineering to move algorithms into production. Notably, he has run incubator programs to help startups adopt Movidius tech and maintains an extensive portfolio of projects and code available on his website.
