Founding Full-Stack Engineer at Star4ce | Computer Vision & Autonomous Systems | M.S. AI at SJSU
ABOUT ME
EXPLORE NOW
I'm Michael Khuri, founding full-stack engineer at Star4ce and an M.S. Artificial Intelligence student at San José State University, specializing in autonomous systems.
I build and deploy software, including a multi-tenant dealership retention platform using Next.js, Flask, and PostgreSQL, and a production pump-quoting tool for AcuFlow. At TRSTXCYBER, I integrated client onboarding tools to support sales qualification.
My computer vision projects include training and comparing road-scene detectors on BDD100K and implementing panorama stitching and integration for a Waymo multi-camera team project. Our evaluation found that LaMa inpainting did not restore YOLO detections in masked fields of view.
I'm interested in full-time software engineering opportunities, with a particular focus on computer vision, perception, and autonomous systems.
