Antioch, California, United States
Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJonathan Santos is a senior software engineer with a 15+ year focus on imaging, signal processing, and depth camera systems, currently advancing calibration, characterization, and AR at Microsoft. He combines research-grade algorithm prototyping in MATLAB/Python with production C/C++ implementations, taking projects from lab concept to factory-ready solutions that improved throughput and test capability. His career spans synthetic aperture radar image restoration at Lockheed Martin—where his work helped secure a $2M contract—to leading depth-sensing calibration rigs, latency measurement techniques, and 3D reconstruction for near-real-time AR. Jonathan is skilled in geometric and radiometric camera characterization, MTF and acutance metrics, and practical lab automation with robotics and spectrometers. He’s known for squeezing orders-of-magnitude performance gains from algorithms and for improving factory test yields and lab capabilities (e.g., increasing ambient light testing to 100k lux). Based in Antioch, CA, he enjoys seeing tangible image-quality improvements and continues to bridge prototype innovation with manufacturable, optimized implementations.
