Lead AI / Computer Vision Engineer

Eyefinity / Qualitics

Owning AI and computer-vision algorithms for the company's UAV inspection products. Specifying, training and putting models into production for transmission-tower audits and related industrial use-cases.

  • Lead computer-vision engineers across multiple internal projects (specification → training → production).
  • Trained and optimised detection pipelines using SAM, MaxViT, RT-DETR, YOLO and generative-AI tooling.
  • Supervise the full annotation process and QA on Darwin V7, CVAT and Supervisely.
  • Run photogrammetry QA for production using Metashape and WebODM.
  • Communicate results and trade-offs to clients and non-technical stakeholders.
