Raul Catena is a computer vision engineer with a decade of experience building production-grade deep learning and 3D rendering systems, currently working on vision problems at Meta from Zurich. His background uniquely bridges wet-lab cancer research and applied ML—he developed high-dimensional imaging pipelines, GPU-accelerated segmentation, and real-time point-cloud models at Leica Geosystems and in academia. Raul ships end-to-end systems across Python, C++, Swift and JS, with production deployments of TensorFlow models in C++ and AR/VR renderers using Metal and SceneKit. He has co-founded mobile startups and built scientific lab platforms, combining product instincts with low-level performance optimization. Notably, his work includes scalable 3D IMC renderers, a log(n) 3D registration algorithm, and practical tooling for turning complex biomedical imaging into usable applications.
