I architect the systems
that teach machines
to see.
Ashwin Rajendraprasad — Chief AI Officer and computer vision architect. Two decades designing intelligent visual systems across retail, healthcare, entertainment, and enterprise — deployed to 100M+ users in 60+ countries.
Vision is the richest sense we have. I build the systems that give machines that same power — and turn it into products that reshape how people experience the world.
I started in academia at USC, studying how machines interpret visual and sensory input. That research became the foundation for everything since — two decades of designing end-to-end computer vision architectures that move from lab to production to global scale.
As Chief AI Officer at FaceCake, I lead the design of intelligent visual systems — real-time perception, spatial understanding, AR rendering, and multimodal AI — powering experiences used by 100M+ people worldwide. I also launched AVA at Google Cloud Next '24, fusing computer vision with large language models into a new kind of visual AI agent.
My work has shaped how major brands deploy visual intelligence: Disney's Magic Mirror, CHANEL's global AR eyewear, experiences for Microsoft, Bloomingdale's, the NFL, Sephora, and NARS. I don't just build models — I architect the full system around them.
Computer vision is the interface layer between AI and the physical world
I design systems that perceive, understand, and act on visual information — across industries, devices, and scales.
Real-Time Perception
3D tracking (500+ facial landmarks), skeletal estimation, depth sensing, segmentation, and gaze analysis — all at real-time speeds on cloud and edge.
Spatial Intelligence & AR
Augmented reality systems that understand 3D space, composite virtual objects in real time, and deliver immersive experiences across web, mobile, and kiosks.
Visual AI for Commerce
Virtual try-on, visual search, style recognition, and personalization engines that transform how people discover and interact with products.
Multimodal & Agentic AI
Systems that fuse visual understanding with language models — AI agents that see, reason, and converse to deliver truly intelligent experiences.
Medical & Precision Vision
AR-guided surgical systems, marker tracking for ophthalmic procedures, and precision alignment algorithms where accuracy is life-critical.
AI Architecture & Scale
End-to-end ML infrastructure — inference pipelines, MLOps, edge deployment, and the engineering discipline to ship vision systems to millions.
