Sravan Puttagunta is a seasoned AI and computer vision leader with 10 years of experience building production-grade perception systems and mapping infrastructure from research to deployment. Currently Head of AI at Sage Care and founding CTO/CEO of Hyperspec AI, he combines hardware-software co-design, real-time SLAM, and sensor fusion to deliver high-performance vision pipelines and privacy-enabled camera systems. He previously founded and led Civil Maps through productization and acquisition, raising $17M and architecting scalable map creation, localization, and simulation stacks used by OEMs. Comfortable shifting between hands-on engineering and strategic leadership, he has personally contributed code, hardware designs, and cloud pipelines while also fundraising and forming key partnerships. Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, he blends academic training in DSP and image processing from UC Berkeley with proven experience launching large-scale compute clusters and 360° vision systems. An interesting thread across his career is a repeated focus on fingerprinting and localization techniques that bridge embedded TV/SoC deployments to autonomous vehicle-grade mapping.
