Chief, R&D & Systems Architecture
Julius is a deep generalist with founder-level urgency who collapses the full product lifecycle into single-person execution, from CAD design and 3D printing to firmware development, machine learning inference, mobile interface, and deployment. His first-class AI honors, conference-validated ML work, and a one-month contactless payment device build—learning CAD from scratch, designing the enclosure, writing embedded software, and shipping a working prototype independently—demonstrate exceptional first-principles engineering velocity. A personal tragedy, in which his family died due to empty oxygen tanks, forged an intolerance for preventable failures and slow processes, creating relentless goal orientation and instinctive control over stalled workflows. At Mary, he consolidates four to five roles into one, accelerating diagnostic hardware prototyping, ML deployment cycles, and real-time interaction systems. This provides a structural R&D advantage that reduces iteration cost and increases technical velocity.
