Senior🎓
Top SchoolKevin Obuya is a machine learning engineer with nine years of experience applying computer vision, robotics and AI to industrial inspection and automation across aerospace, mining and factory environments. He designs end-to-end systems that integrate 2D/3D sensors (LiDAR, thermal, depth) with deep learning—fine-tuning foundation models and deploying optimized inference pipelines for robust defect detection and predictive maintenance. Equally comfortable in Python, C++, MATLAB and ROS, he builds custom tooling and MLOps workflows to move research prototypes into production on edge devices. His background includes leading R&D delivery, mentoring interns and tripling annotation throughput via bespoke PyQt tools, showing a pragmatic focus on operational impact as well as model accuracy. Currently exploring generative and agentic AI to make industrial automation more adaptive and human-aligned, he blends research curiosity with hands-on systems engineering.
