- Designed distributed inference architecture with CPU-based backend and GPU-hosted model services (Docker), orchestrated via Redis queues and background workers; enabled on-demand GPU utilization, reducing infrastructure costs by ~60–80% and improving system scalability.
- Leveraged vision models (SAM/YOLO) to auto-label video frames, accelerating annotation throughput and eliminating the need to hire 5 additional annotators, saving ~$2K/month (~$24K/year) while scaling dataset generation.
- Extended open-source Label Studio to build an enterprise-grade annotation platform on GCP; implemented RBAC, review workflows, and custom storage integration, enabling 100+ daily annotators across 50TB+ data while eliminating ~$600/month (~$7K/year) in licensing costs.
- Designed and executed a benchmarking framework for vision models (Grounded SAM, SAM3, YOLOv8/v10, ByteTrack, AprilTag), evaluating accuracy, latency (10–30Hz), and reliability, enabling safe model selection for real-time deployment.
- Built a scalable scraping and pricing pipeline (10K+ products, ~4-hour runtime), enabling automated, rule-based price updates and real-time market competitiveness.
