Shayan Kousha is a Generative AI Engineer with 8 years of experience building and shipping ML and computer vision systems, holding a BSc from the University of Toronto and an MSc from York University. He has led end-to-end projects from prototype to deployment—optimizing training and inference pipelines, containerized delivery, and mobile/ONNX deployments—while improving model quality (e.g., +14% PSNR, +30% rendering quality) through geometry-aware innovations. His expertise spans NeRF, Gaussian splatting, diffusion models, transformers, octrees and LiDAR-to-visual fusion, with a proven ability to translate research ideas into production-ready solutions. Comfortable bridging product, data, and engineering teams, he mentors teammates and consistently focuses on cost and deployment readiness alongside model research. A pragmatic experimentalist, he pairs novel architectural tweaks and induction biases (edge-preserving depth regularization, SDF representations) with systems work like CUDA kernel tuning to deliver measurable production impact.
