bordeaux, frI'm Huy-Dung — an applied AI engineer who spent three years in a PhD on multimodal perception and then went to ship it. I now work where computer vision meets agentic systems: real-time perception for a humanoid by day, conversational agents and tooling by night.
The thread across my work is taking a research-grade idea — a depth network, a tool-calling pattern, a clever loss — and turning it into something a non-research user actually relies on. I care about latency, about the failure modes nobody writes papers about, and about the unglamorous bits between a paper and a product.
A model is only as good as the moment a tired user reaches for it at 11pm.Note to self · 2024
A rough chronology — from leaving Vietnam in 2014 to shipping capabilities for a humanoid. Everything else lives in the projects page.
At Capgemini, working across real-time computer-vision systems and agentic, tool-calling AI — turning research into things clients can actually ship.
AI and computer-vision missions for two very different clients — industrial systems at Orano and retail at Carrefour.
Started as an AI engineer at Capgemini, including a collaboration with MIT.
Earned my doctorate in AI and computer vision, and authored four registered (protected) software programs along the way.
Began a PhD in AI and computer vision at University of Bordeaux.
My engineering final-year project at CEA LIST — reconstructing a hand gesture's 3D path from a single inertial sensor using deep learning. My first taste of real research, right before the PhD.
Graduated as an electronics engineer, in the top 5% of the class.
Left Vietnam for the BSc. Took one French class at a time. Learned to make tarte aux pommes the same year.
