About Prasanna Vijay Natu
I am a Robotics and Machine Learning Engineer with hands-on experience across robotics perception, computer vision, controls, and large-scale deployment systems. After completing my Master of Science in Mechatronics, Robotics, and Automation Engineering from Worcester Polytechnic Institute (May 2024), I transitioned into building real-world solutions at the intersection of robotics, AI, and scalable cloud infrastructure. In my current role, I not only design and implement advanced ML-Ops pipelines, trading architectures, and real-time data systems, but also manage and mentor a cross-functional engineering team, ensuring projects move seamlessly from research-driven prototypes to production-grade deployments. My professional journey spans from conducting research in deep learning for optical flow to working on autonomous systems, grasp detection (GGCNN, GR-ConvNet), kinematics, and SLAM/visual-inertial odometry. More recently, I have focused on ML-Ops, trading system architecture, and real-time data pipelines—designing, deploying, and optimising distributed systems using AWS (EKS, SageMaker, EC2), FastAPI microservices, Kafka/Redpanda streaming, Redis, and containerised deployments. I thrive in high-performance, collaborative environments, where I can combine technical depth with leadership to deliver scalable, impactful solutions. My goal is to continue pushing boundaries in robotics, AI, and intelligent autonomous systems, while bridging the gap between research innovation and operational excellence.
