Summary
Senthil Palanisamy is a Senior Machine Learning Engineer with nine years of hands-on experience in geometric and 3D computer vision, robotics, and industrial machine vision, currently based in Fremont, CA. He has built end-to-end systems from stereo visual odometry and online extrinsic calibration to TSDF depth fusion and panoramic depth stitching, and has shipped perception solutions across agriculture rovers, autonomous vehicles, and AR products. Comfortable in C++ and Python, he pairs analytical optimization (Lie algebra, g2o) with practical engineering—calibrating cameras, managing data-collection rovers, and deploying ML models on embedded vision platforms. He has experience founding ML efforts that integrate LLM agents and has a strong research background from an MS in Robotics at Northwestern. Notably, he combines academic rigor in structure-from-motion and SLAM with startup velocity, moving prototypes into production-grade visual systems.
