Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSandesh Sharma is a founding engineer specializing in drone autonomy and embedded software, blending 11 years of hands-on experience across robotics, perception, and neural network quantization. He has shipped production-level components at startups and labs—working on landing-spot detection for MAVs at DLR, dock-landing perception at Skydio, and low-bitwidth LLM/NN quantization and accumulator optimization during a thesis and working-student role at Recogni. Comfortable across C++, Python, ROS, OpenCV and embedded drivers, he thrives at the intersection of low-level systems and ML-driven perception. A filmmaker at heart, he brings an emphasis on user-experience and rapid, almost “magical” delivery—turning days of engineering into seconds of impact. Based in Munich, he pairs rigorous academic training from TUM and CDTM with field-tested autonomy work, including rover-and-drone experiments on Mt. Etna.
