Associate Technical Architect · KPIT Technologies

Architects AI systems across automotive perception, in-cabin intelligence, model industrialization, and the platforms that carry them into production.

  • Leads technical direction from feasibility and architecture through C++ integration, optimization, and validation on target hardware.
  • Defined a multi-model in-cabin system spanning whole-body pose, gaze, and temporal action and skeleton forecasting on NVIDIA Jetson.
  • Developed reusable deployment patterns across NVIDIA DRIVE and Jetson, Qualcomm Snapdragon Ride, Ambarella, and Renesas platforms.
  • Enabled deep-learning workloads on constrained automotive ECUs through runtime selection, custom operators, quantization, graph optimization, and Python-to-C++ redesign.
  • Built perception middleware and vehicle interfaces across camera, LiDAR, radar, traffic-light recognition, tracking, and concurrent inference.
  • Leads MLOps and DataOps architecture, and advises internal teams on agent use cases, evaluation, orchestration, tool integration, state and memory, and human approval.
