Projects
I'm Julius Hietala, an experienced software engineer with a passion for bridging the gap between machine learning and high-quality software engineering. I am currently dedicated to building the future of fulfillment at Nimble Robotics, where I develop intelligent robots that revolutionize warehouse operations.
In his research, Julius focused on developing a cloth manipulation system, which involved simulation and physical components, as well as a learning component. He conducted thorough experimental evaluations. His thesis yielded significant results that garnered interest from the academic community.
Notably, he expanded the capabilities of cloth manipulation systems, specifically in the area of transferring policies for dynamic tasks from simulation to physical systems. His contributions pushed the boundaries of the current state-of-the-art in this field.
Postdoctoral Researcher - Aalto University
crabnet
A simple neural network implemented using Rust 🦀
YOLOv5 iOS Object Detector App
I built an iOS object detection app with YOLOv5 and Core ML. Check out the tutorial (blog/Medium) to know how you can build one too!
Julius helped us at Voi with an urgent project for which we lacked sufficient expertise. He not just brought the expertise we needed but also did a lot of side work to help us reach the milestone.
I would definitely recommend Julius as a very skilled engineer, as an expert in Machine Learning, and just as a very nice and kind person.
