PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
|
| 2014- |
Director of Technology, Amazon Go
Amazon.com
Boston, Ma, Seattle Wa
Amazon Go is a new kind of store with no lines and no
checkout. Customers enter the store, take what they want, and
go! Our checkout-free shopping experience is made possible by
our Just Walk Out Technology, which automatically detects when
products are taken from or returned to the shelves and keeps
track of them in a virtual cart. All of this is done using
sophisticated computer vision algorithms, machine learning,
and sensor fusion so that when you're done shopping, your can
just leave the store -- no lines, no checkout.
I lead hardware engineering and computer vision research groups that are responsible
for the creation, design, and implementation of the sensor
technologies that make Amazon
Go and Just Walk Out a reality.
