Senior🎓
Top SchoolWaleed Ahmed is a software engineer based in San Francisco with nine years of experience building perception and embedded systems for autonomous and industrial applications. A University of Waterloo Computer Engineering graduate, he has shipped production software at Zoox and interned at leading organizations including Huawei, Qualcomm, and Synaptive Medical, with deep hands-on work in C++, ROS, OpenCV, and real-time imaging pipelines. He’s delivered end-to-end solutions from lane and traffic-light perception for autonomous robots to high-coverage CI and architecture improvements for cross-platform UI systems. Comfortable across firmware-to-cloud stacks, he combines algorithmic rigor (stereo vision, LiDAR, IMU fusion) with practical engineering such as unit-test-driven CI and performance-conscious C++ implementations. Colleagues rely on him to turn research-grade algorithms into robust, deployable components used in vehicle-scale products.
