Summary
Mohammed Sheikh is a senior software engineer based in Berkeley with eight years of experience applying deep learning to real-world perception problems across industry and research. He has driven ML work at Google and Waymo on depth, semantic segmentation, lighting estimation, VIO/SLAM and 2D→3D generative modeling, balancing compact edge models with larger teacher networks for AR and mapping. Earlier roles at Standard Cognition and Scotty Labs focused on large-scale detection, tracking, sensor fusion and accelerating training pipelines, and his PhD-era work introduced algorithmic improvements for simulating avalanches and large-data spectral analysis. Comfortable moving between C++ systems, scalable training stacks, and novel neural architectures, he also has hands-on experience building hybrid spatial data structures and production-ready pipelines. Colleagues rely on him for turning theoretical insights into performant, deployable vision systems that work in constrained environments.
