Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJosiah Laivins is a machine learning engineer with 9 years of hands-on experience building production computer vision systems and deployment tooling for manufacturing and robotics. He has led engineering teams and co-architected Spyglass Visual Inspection, a service-oriented framework for deploying and updating models on semi-connected factory devices with zero-downtime releases. At Invisible AI he delivered a modular data pipeline and custom labeling tool on a two-week pilot timeline, and implemented post-processing for state-of-the-art CV models including C++ components. Comfortable across the stack, he designs versioned, packaged tooling that extends cloud platforms (Azure) while managing fleets of Linux machines on live production lines. Josiah combines academic training (MS/BS in Computer Science) with practical IoT and robotics experience, and is driven by applying AI to tangible automation problems rather than purely theoretical work. A detail that often goes unnoticed: he balances rapid prototyping under tight timelines with disciplined engineering practices like packaging, auto-documentation, and versioned deployments.
