Stefanos Pierides

Highly motivated, forward thinking and solution-oriented, I am a Graduate Engineer, qualified with a 1st class honours Engineering degree in Robotics. Skilled in leading technically complex projects, I am highly organised and detail oriented, demonstrating an instinctive ability to translate data and information into clear, concise communications for technical and non technical audiences. With an excellent command of Linux, Gazebo, MATLAB and Python, I am most passionate about driving machine vision-based projects, integrating my knowledge of optimising neural network architecture and inspired by opportunities where I can facilitate the development and improvement of systems.

Committed to taking my next step within a fast-paced, dynamic environment, I blend a strategic mindset with advanced technical acumen, strong problem-solving skills and a hands-on operational approach. At this early stage of my career, my key goal is to learn new skills, embrace new experiences and learn from every project to become a successful Engineer and expert in my field.
