Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolQichao Gao is a software engineer with eight years of experience focused on robotics and autonomous driving, currently contributing to Ambarella’s embedded vision and neural-network performance efforts from Sunnyvale. He blends hands-on chip-aware optimization—such as deformable convolution offset regularization and a C++ Perfgen extension for operator runtime tuning—with research-led system work in vehicle localization, sensor fusion, and safe autonomy. Trained at UIUC and Columbia in computer engineering, he has a track record of building both research platforms (indoor vehicle/pedestrian localization with sub-meter temporal guarantees) and practical tooling for real-time perception. Comfortable across Python, TensorFlow/OpenCV stacks and low-level C++ performance engineering, he seeks summer internship roles that bridge research and production.
