I’m Aman Shekh, an ML Engineer and technical project lead who builds production-grade computer vision systems across edge and cloud. I’ve spent 6+ years taking models from end-to-end development through embedded porting, backend services, and QA—often optimizing for real-time performance and robustness across multiple hardware tiers. At Motive, I lead end-to-end delivery for an in-cabin passenger detection system, including architectural decisions (like moving to full-resolution inference), DRA/discrepancy analysis to close gaps between on-device and offline results, and orchestration of ML/embedded/EFS pipelines. I also enjoy engineering practical tooling that reduces annotation cost and improves quality, such as using VLM-based event gating for human-in-the-loop workflows.

Work Experience

ML Engineer & Tech Lead (EFS Feature Lead & Technical Project Manager, Passenger Detection Beta) at Motive (Remote, Bengaluru, India)
January 1, 2025 - Present
Served as EFS Feature Lead, Technical Lead, and Technical Project Manager for end-to-end delivery of an AI in-cabin passenger detection system for unauthorized occupant detection. Led multi-task unified driver model development and real-time full-resolution inference (540×960), including firmware porting across device tiers and SNPE-based Qualcomm targets. Drove an architectural switch from cropped to full-resolution inference for full-cabin coverage while mitigating ~10% FPS impact via per-tier model pipelines to preserve SLAs. Improved passenger metric quality from 0.35 to 0.75 mAP. Owned DRA (Detection Rate Analysis) and discrepancy analysis between on-device inference and offline ground truth to identify class confusion/miss-detection gaps and translate findings into a re-training and data-collection plan ahead of GA.
