Projects
I'm Julius Hietala, an experienced machine learning 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.
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.

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!
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.
Professor at Tampere University
Julius is an amazing engineer dedicated to his craft and producing quality software.
He has an eye for improving architecture and reducing technical debt. He delivered much value to our customers with the features and improvements that he contributed to our creative tools.
