Summary
Rey Z is a Research Software Engineer with a decade of experience building advanced image analysis and ML-driven tools for the semiconductor industry from Vancouver, BC. At Quartz Imaging he led development of edge detection and analysis systems—combining machine learning with Monte Carlo physics simulations—and delivered products deployed in top-tier research labs worldwide. His background in Engineering Physics and honours Mathematics underpins a strong foundation in algorithm design, exemplified by an Earth Mover’s Distance–based pattern-matching engine he developed for robust 2D model matching in JPEG images. Comfortable in C++ and full product stacks, Rey moves research ideas into production-grade software, with additional experience in encryption, archiving, and web tooling. Colleagues value his ability to bridge theoretical methods and practical deployment, turning complex imaging physics into reliable, ship-ready systems.
