Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSanchit Tanwar is a Machine Learning Engineer specializing in computer vision and real-time perception for robotics, currently working at Zoox while pursuing an M.S. in Computer Science at Georgia Tech. With eight years of experience, he has built stereo vision pipelines, optimized depth estimation, and deployed robust localization systems for indoor and outdoor robots. His background spans foundation models for driving, model quantization, transformers, and practical techniques like knowledge distillation and weak supervision to close the gap between research and production. He has applied CV at scale across startups and research labs—tackling challenges from pothole detection on fast-moving platforms to catastrophic forgetting in semantic segmentation. Based in California, he blends academic mentorship experience (TA for Deep Learning) with hands-on engineering to deliver perception stacks that improve navigation and scene understanding. An interesting thread across his work is a consistent focus on making high-performance 3D and multi-modal vision models run reliably in real-time robotic systems.
