Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMario Larcher is a Staff Applied Scientist based in Vienna with nine years of experience building and scaling computer vision and ML systems across energy, research, and product teams. At Enel he founded and grew the computer vision group, delivered production frameworks for semantic segmentation, and led cross-modal projects (photos, LIDAR, satellite) that materially reduced monitoring costs and enabled new asset-management tools. Now on Canva’s Image Generation team, he blends research rigor with product-focused engineering to ship practical generative and vision capabilities. His background in statistics and mathematics, plus a stint teaching applied big-data methods, underscores a principled approach to model design and reproducibility. A hands-on inventor, he has published practical utilities like a K-Means–based anchor optimizer and reusable PyTorch Lightning/Hydra frameworks that have been reused across teams.
