Summary
Uddeshya Upadhyay is a PhD-trained machine learning and computer vision scientist with 10 years of experience building research-driven products across big tech, startups, and hardware-focused AI companies. He co-founded ASTRM Intelligence Labs after shaping autonomy and perception stacks as Founding Autonomy Scientist at Droneforge and optimizing multimodal models for wafer-scale accelerators at Cerebras. His work spans self-supervised vision foundation models, real-time video-to-3D pipelines, uncertainty-aware medical time-series models, and productionized low-latency ML on edge GPUs, reflecting a rare mix of academic publications (NeurIPS, ICCV, ECCV) and hands-on deployment. Comfortable across domains from biomedical informatics to quantitative finance, he’s equally at home scaling training on specialized hardware and building robust perception-to-control integrations for autonomous systems. A perpetual “neophyte” coder, he pairs deep research rigor with pragmatic engineering to turn complex ML ideas into operational systems.
