   Oct 2017 — Present · Redmond, WA, US

   I have worked on several interesting projects so far: 3D for everyone: Implemented Stereo Matching algorithm for depth perception on Microsoft Folding device. Responsible for evaluating robustness of feature matching between the RGB camera image and Wide FOV camera image using hand annotated images.Mixed Reality(Hololens):Built the binocular display pipeline using the existing monocular display port driver, ensure proper display boot up, FPGA and ASIC bring up as well as Factory Tools development. Served as the display expert on team for ensuring system bring up from FPGA/ASIC upto Laser firmware was handled. Android Core OS Team - Microsoft works on and releases a MSFT flavor of Android that’s now being widely adopted. As part of this team, worked on deploying a real-time Speech-To-Text on-device ML model android service that would download models from the cloud on demand but conduct inferencing on device. Work also included comprehensive unit testing and integration testing on cuttlefish emulator and real device. Optimized Speaker Recognition ML model from our partner team using SNPE(Snapdragon Neural Processor) execution provider for Qualcomm chipsets. Work included modifying Pytorch model file to make it SNPE instruction compatible, build dummy models while debugging issue with Qualcomm, build testing pipelines to verify the Mean Opinion Score(MOS) of the optimized model on device NPU. I have also built several Proof of Concepts and demos to showcase our work and also train the team to use Qualcomm tools like QNN and SNPE.
