Summary
Manfred Georg is a Staff Software Engineer at Google with 11+ years building backend infrastructure for large-scale video and perception systems, currently focusing on data collection and annotation for Sign Language Understanding. He originated and led development of MediaPipe, a cross-platform modular media processing framework, and spearheaded a specialized ML workflow management system for Google AI Perception. With a Ph.D. in Computer Science focused on manifold learning for computer vision, he blends deep theoretical grounding with pragmatic engineering rather than pure research. Formerly an engineering manager, he retains a strong individual-contributor mindset and prefers opportunities tightly aligned with his sign-language and video-analysis work. An uncommon mix of math, systems design, and long-term ownership makes him especially effective at turning experimental ML ideas into robust production infrastructure.
