Technical Program Manager - AI R&D, Voxar Labs
Jan, 2022 - Present
I lead large-scale AI and Computer Vision R&D programs from funding and system design to real-world validation and TRL progression. Owns the full technical stack (models, data, sensors, compute, simulation) and translates OEM and funding-agency requirements into deployable, validated technology. Acts as the single point of technical accountability across multi-partner, safety-critical programs, aligning performance, budget, risk, and commercialization.
Technical owner of multi-million-BRL AI R&D programs in autonomous driving, multimodal perception, telemedicine, and in-cabin intelligence, in collaboration with Volkswagen, Volkswagen Truck & Bus (TRATON), Stellantis, HP, and Samsung.
Designed and led end-to-end AI pipelines spanning data collection, annotation, simulation, model training, edge deployment, and real-world validation.
Built and governed large-scale datasets and sensor-fusion platforms for road perception, driver and pedestrian behavior analysis, and multimodal AI in challenging real-world conditions.
Defined and operationalized Responsible AI frameworks (fairness, bias, explainability) for safety-critical and human-facing AI systems.
