Hello, I'm

Vicky Dasta

An AI researcher and computer vision engineer.

I take AI from lab to production — edge inference pipelines, multi-object tracking, and applied research that ships. Physics-trained, leading teams that deliver.

What I do

The problems I keep coming back to, in the lab and in the field.

I work across the full vision stack. That starts with data — collecting from deployment cameras, auditing labels, and training detectors that hold up on footage the benchmarks never saw.

Then comes inference where it actually runs: ONNX pipelines, careful quantization, and detect-sparse/track-dense designs on Jetson and CPU edge boxes. And around all of it, leading teams that take AI systems from architecture to production — CCTV intelligence, industrial sortation, and applied research that ships.

  • Training — field datasets, honest validation, models that survive deployment.
  • Inference — real-time perception on the hardware at hand.
  • Shipping — teams, pipelines, and systems in production.

Research

Physics-rooted questions I keep investigating.

Before production systems, there was a photonics lab: optics, signal processing, and computational physics applied to real measurement problems — including laser cross-section volumetry for my undergraduate thesis at Universitas Riau. That foundation still drives how I think about imaging: physics first, models second.

Lately that means spectral analysis — latent-variable methods like PCA and PLS for pulling chemistry out of high-dimensional spectra — alongside field machine vision that has to survive orchards, ports, and factories, where the lighting never cooperates. I wrote up the spectra side as a primer: Latent space for chemometrics →
