Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolLambert Wixson is a Principal Applied Scientist in the Greater Seattle Area with over three decades of hands-on experience building computer vision and video processing systems and a decade in senior applied ML roles. He has led production deployments that convert panoramic imagery into floorplans, rank listing photos for real estate products, and enable real-time, high-throughput video annotation services that process tens of thousands of segments daily. Equally comfortable in research and product settings, he moves algorithms from lab prototypes to embedded and web-scale services, blending deep learning, probabilistic vision, and HCI to improve user workflows. A pragmatic engineering leader and former CTO, he champions Agile/DevOps practices, automated testing, and domain-specific APIs while mentoring teams to ship reliable systems. Quirky aside: his GitHub bio reads “old man,” hinting at a long career rooted in early vision work (Pyramid Vision ASICs) and sustained curiosity across languages from C++ and Objective-C to Python and PowerShell.
