Senior🎓
Top SchoolJulien Pilet is a senior computer vision scientist and entrepreneur based in Lausanne with 14 years of experience building real-time non-rigid surface tracking, augmented reality, and machine vision systems. He holds a PhD from EPFL and has blended academic research with industry impact—working at Google, Keio University, and now leading vision efforts at Invision AI while running a consulting firm, opticode.ch. Julien brings deep C++ and graphics expertise (OpenGL/GLSL) and practical embedded systems experience, shipping production-ready tracking and image retrieval solutions. He contributes to the C++ ecosystem through Conan package work, smoothing cross-platform builds and ARM fixes for widely used libraries like OpenCV and FFmpeg. An avid problem-solver, he also applies advanced data processing to niche domains—his sailing project Anemomind developed race-focused hardware and algorithms. Colleagues describe him as a pragmatic researcher who turns complex vision science into robust, deployable systems.
