Available to hire
Hi, I’m Gilbert Maître. I’m a freelance information technology consultant based in Evolène, Valais, Switzerland. I earned my Dipl. El.-Ing. from ETH Zurich in 1987 and pursued early research in 3D computer vision, optical character recognition, and identity verification.
Over the years I taught signal processing at EIV, contributed to prototypes in signal, speech, and image processing, and worked in industry roles at RERO+ and IDIAP. Since September 2024 I’m retired from my academic post and offer services as a self-employed consultant.
