Summary of Achievements

ViMo ***: I lead design and deployment of the first edge-based real-time ANN inference- from-video device in the industry. I assembled a team of 20 engineers, I then lead them to deliver hardware, embedded software, ML algorithms, services and applications in a record time of 9 months (design to product ready, FCC certified). Logitech Circle: in a market of indoor cameras dominated by Dropcam/Nestcam, I designed and delivered to targeted customers a more affordable, yet higher value-added, alternative. The effort commenced with focus groups and inbound marketing, followed by ID design for hardware, and UI design for applications. I was in charge of 50, out of which 20 I hired in-house, plus 20 outsourced engineers in the US, Ukraine and Argentina. The Circle combined edge- and service-based analytics, the first in a very competitive industry. I worked directly with the ODMs on productization and large-scale manufacturing. I was directly responsible for embedded platform, services, iOS, Android, and web apps. Augmented Reality Special Effects: hands-on engineer designing and developing facial feature-drive avatars for real-time video conversations. I received the first Logitech innovation award for this effort. The final product replaced live video visible at the far-side

(of e.g. Skype conversation) with an animated likeness of arbitrary person or animated character driven by movements of the eyes, the lips, and the entire head on the near-side. Summary of Qualifications
