Experience
- Apixa: Rodent detection in food produceTechnical lead - Computer Vision, AI & Computer GraphicsAGRICULTUREApril 2025 - September 2025 (5 months)Leuven, BelgiumDesigned and implemented a computer vision system to detect the presence of rodents in produce before packaging. The project combined high-resolution imaging with custom-trained detection models to identify contaminants in real time at high frame-rates. Developed a workflow that integrated with existing bagging lines, using automated inspection to improve food safety, reduce contamination risks, and ensuring operational efficiency.
- Apixa: Salad mix segmentationTechnical lead - Computer Vision, AI & Computer GraphicsAGRICULTUREFebruary 2024 - June 2025 (1 year and 4 months)Leuven, BelgiumDesigned and implemented a segmentation system using synthetic data and hyperspectral imaging to accurately differentiate and classify components in mixed salads. The model enables automated sorting and quality control during the bagging process for grocery stores, improving efficiency and consistency in product packaging.
- Apixa: Indoor Localization and Tracking via RackpolesTechnical lead - Computer Vision, AI & Computer GraphicsLOGISTICS AND SUPPLY CHAINJanuary 2024 - January 2025 (1 year)Leuven, BelgiumDeveloped a computer vision system to detect rackpoles in warehouse images as a precursor for high-precision indoor localization. Worked with a limited dataset affected by significant encoding artifacts, requiring advanced image processing and robust detection methods to reliably identify rackpoles. The solution improved the accuracy of warehouse localization workflows and provided a foundation for tracking systems, despite challenging visual conditions and data limitations.
