2022 - 2024
Camera Software Engineer at Google, Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Worked with the Pixel Camera team (Mountain View & San Diego) on color correction of Pixel phone cameras. Developed: 1) a camera-independent, AI-based framework for spatially varying auto white balance correction within the camera ISP—a plug-and-play solution requiring no tuning across devices, 2) a chromaticity mapping method for transferring chroma values across cameras without traditional color-chart calibration, 3) a guiding feature (DEF) for illuminant estimation using dual-exposure images in HDR pipelines, and 4) a side project with Gemini team focused on improving zero-shot image classification accuracy using multimodal LLMs (WDYS).
