About

Hi, I’m Khaled Saleh, a Computer Vision researcher and engineer based in Sydney, Australia, with 10+ years of hands-on experience designing, developing, and deploying vision-based AI/ML systems for autonomous vehicles, robotics, and real-world perception tasks. I enjoy solving complex perception problems end-to-end, from research ideas to production-grade deployments, and collaborating with cross-disciplinary teams to deliver robust, real-world solutions.

I specialize in deep learning for computer vision, including object detection, pose and trajectory prediction, 3D point cloud processing, and thermal imagery analysis, using Python, C/C++, OpenCV, PyTorch, and TensorFlow. I’m passionate about taking CV algorithms from research to production, building scalable perception pipelines, and continuously learning to tackle new sensing modalities and real-world constraints.
