About
Hi! I'm Rak, a computer vision engineer building camera-based AI for recreational boating. I architected and led development of the production computer vision pipeline behind Brunswick's Level 3 Autonomous Docking Solution, Simrad AutoCaptain, from data collection and labeling through training, evaluation, and edge deployment. My mission is to lower the barrier to entry into boating by building ADAS solutions that make boating easier and safer for boaters of every experience level, from beginners to seasoned captains.
I led one of Brunswick's operational-excellence AI initiatives, a multimodal AI solution for nautical chart data collection, extraction, and map generation that cut processing time per data source from several days to a few hours. I'm an inventor on more than fifteen U.S. patent filings: two granted and the rest patent pending.
Outside of work, I love learning and teaching, and have volunteered as a tutor and teacher at several initiatives. I'm a loving father of 3 girls, and our family includes a dog, Pesse, and three cats, Mindy, Mikasa and Attabi. I'm also a big fan of art and art history, occasionally paint, practice MMA, and love bouldering and reading in my spare time.
