Previously, I worked at a startup where we were making a vision system for golf simulators to analyze the player's swing. It's this company: https://www.elvagolf.com/

I learned a lot of computer vision skills from that job, and it turns out this kind of computer vision is directly applicable to robotics as well.

So, I applied for a role as a vision engineer at my current job, and got the role :) This is where I work now: https://www.monumental.co/

Apart from my vision skills though, I was also just generally a good fit - I had a lot of startup/small company experience, I'm a pretty good software engineer apart from the computer vision, and the culture fit was there as well. I feel very lucky that the stars all aligned for me to be here.
