Hi human, I love working in my great passion ❤️‍🔥: software 👨‍💻 and AI solutions 💡(Vision 👀, Machine learning 🧠, and robotics 🤖). My areas of interest are mobile rovers 🚗, aerial and underwater robots/vehicles (ROV), control architectures, navigation, and mapping.

I’m currently building the future robotics infrastructure in the atoms ⚛️ delivering industry at @Kiwibot 🥝. I also love photography 📷 @JohnBetaCode and burgers 🍔.

  • 🔭 I’m currently working with robots 🤖 at Kiwibot! (Food delivery Robots).
  • 🌱 I'm currently learning everything 🤣, but focused on Leadership and product/Engineering management (learning how complicated people are 🤯) when I have free time in ML Ai.
  • 👯 I want to collaborate with other content creators in Ai and ML or things I like. Also, I'm always open to talking and chatting about tech stuff.
  • 🥅 2022 - 2023 Goals: Contribute more to Open Source projects, create my own, build the best robot doing my best 💪, and learn to dance salsa 👯.
  • ⚡ Fun fact: I love pop music 🎵 (here one of my favorites), photography 📷, drawing ✏️, and playing guitar 🎸(I'm not good), some people call me uncle John 👴, and I also love teaching 👨‍🏫.

My role:

Work with the leadership team to set clear priorities and goals for IT management and production, balancing the long-term and immediate needs. Manage strategic vendor and technology partner relationships. Manage IT resource allocation, goal/KPI setting, and performance metrics. Define the company’s overall technology strategy to support business objectives. Make infrastructure decisions, ensuring technical excellence, versatility, safety and soundness, resiliency, and scalability in the architecting and engineering of product solutions and managing all technical delivery. Ensure tight collaboration across departments to drive strategic initiatives, including understanding the alignment between technology strategy and various technology road maps. Create strategic plans and set timelines for evaluating, developing, and deploying all technical, robotics, and AI services.

John A Betancourt G's Projects

background_removal icon background_removal

Project for face detection, face recognition, pencil sketch, animegan in image, video or real-time stream

carnd-p1-finding_lane_lines icon carnd-p1-finding_lane_lines

Find and plot lane lines in images and videos using basic computer vision techniques like hough line, thresholding, color spaces, and linear regression

carnd-p2-advanced_lane_lines_finding icon carnd-p2-advanced_lane_lines_finding

Find lane lines and measure curvature in images and videos with advanced computer vision techniques like camera calibration, color spaces, gradients, histograms, surface projection, and others.

carnd-p5-extended_kalman_filters icon carnd-p5-extended_kalman_filters

I implemented a extended Kalman filter in C++. Simulated lidar and radar measurements is provided with detections of a bicycle that travels around the vehicle. Kalman filter and sensors measurements are used to track the bicycle's position and velocity.

carnd-p6-kidnapped_vehicle icon carnd-p6-kidnapped_vehicle

In this project I implemented a 2 dimensional particle filter in C++. The particle filter was be given a map and some initial localization information (analogous to what a GPS would provide). At each time step the filter will also get observation and control data. The robot has been kidnapped and transported to a new location! Luckily it has a map of this location, a (noisy) GPS estimate of its initial location, and lots of (noisy) sensor and control data.

carnd-p7-highway_driving icon carnd-p7-highway_driving

In this project the goal is to safely navigate around a virtual highway with other traffic that is driving +-10 MPH of the 50 MPH speed limit. The car's localization and sensor fusion data are provided, there is also a sparse map list of waypoints around the highway. The car goes as close as possible to the 50 MPH speed limit, which means passing slower traffic when possible and avoiding dynamic and statical obstacles.

carnd-p8-pid_controller icon carnd-p8-pid_controller

In this project I'll revisit the lake race track from the Behavioral Cloning Project. This time, however, I implemented a PID controller in C++ to maneuver the vehicle around the track!

carnd-p9-programming_real_self_driving_car icon carnd-p9-programming_real_self_driving_car

For this project, ROS is used to implement core functionality of the autonomous vehicle system, including traffic light detection, control, and waypoint following. The code is tested using a simulator, but also was used in a real self driving car named Carla.

everyday-studio icon everyday-studio

Make your own everyday video, showing how the years pass on you, this repo requires OpenCV, and Ffmpeg

face-every-day-maker icon face-every-day-maker

This is a tool for making a every day video if you take a picture of you everyday (just to see how you get old)

social-distancing-analyser icon social-distancing-analyser

Considering the big change that the world is facing, as well as our lives due to the COVID-19, we provide to people and companies a complete open-source tool to analyze the social distancing for streets, parks, offices, and even crowded places like malls, train stations, and others.
