Welcome to Mayur's Portfolio

Hi, I'm Mayur Rajendra Waghchoure – an AI Engineer specializing in autonomous systems, machine learning, and robotics. I develop innovative solutions ranging from advanced ADAS features to deep learning projects for autonomous vehicles.

About Me

With hands-on experience in both industry and research, I am an innovative AI/ML Engineer with 4+ years of experience in autonomous systems, deep learning, and data pipelines. Proven expertise in building end-to-end ML systems, from research to production grade deployment. Skilled in MLOps, cloud technologies, and big data processing, with a passion for delivering scalable solutions for autonomous driving and robotics..

Maneuver detected : Overtake Left - An ego car is overtaken by truck from left side as seen from above video.

Master's Thesis output - Learning-Based Maneuver Detection from multi-view camera data for extraction of critical scenarios from real world datasets (e.g., Nuscenes) for faster and robust verification and validation of Autonomous Driving Systems.

Work Experience

• Autonomous Driving Software Engineer, Deontic.ai (Leuven,Belgium) | Leuven, Belgium – Apr 2025 to Present
  I am involved in developing the state of art approach to revolutinize the autonomous driving testing using NLP and ASAM OpenX standard, and ODD based scenario generation strategies. I am involved in the task to integrate the sentence boundary detection, semantic chunk detection from the detected text from OCR read pdf files, generating the Model based system engineering compatible requirements and ODD attributes, and eventually generate the scenario suite using fine-tuned LLM models for the scenario generation and safety evaluations.

• AI Content Creator, Think Autonomous (Paris, France) | Remote – Jan 2025 to Present
  Lidar-Lidar Registration: Executed projects on lidar-camera calibration, multi-lidar registration (using GICP+ICP), and deep learning-based sensor fusion. Designed tutorials on perception systems, SLAM, and 3D deep learning.

  Multi-layered ICP registration:
  

  Kiss ICP based SLAM:
  

4D Perception: Excuted the project on 4D perception, which involves object detection with OpenPcdet framework followed by 3D Association and Multi object tracking, and visualized it with rerun tool.

3D Reconstruction DLC MVS, SFM, Nerf and Gaussian Splatting

Advanced SLAM
