Core Expertise

As an Urban Mobility Technologist, I design AI-powered smart parking ecosystems that integrate IoT sensor networks, computer vision, and dynamic pricing algorithms to optimize urban parking efficiency. My work transforms parking infrastructure into intelligent systems that reduce congestion, emissions, and driver frustration through real-time data analytics.

Technical Capabilities

1. Real-Time Parking Optimization

  • Space Utilization AI:

    • Developed ParkBrain – A deep learning system predicting parking space availability with 95% accuracy (fusing LiDAR, camera, and ground sensor data)

    • Reduced average search time by 40% in pilot cities through adaptive routing recommendations

  • Automated Enforcement:

    • Deployed edge-based license plate recognition for illegal parking detection (processing 500+ vehicles/minute)

2. Sustainability Integration

  • Emission-Reducing Features:

    • Implemented EV priority parking with integrated charging availability forecasting

    • Designed idling penalty algorithms to discourage circling behavior

3. Multi-Stakeholder Systems

  • Municipal Partnerships:

    • Created dynamic curb pricing models adjusting rates based on demand, time, and local events

    • Integrated with public transit APIs to promote park-and-ride usage

Impact & Collaborations

  • Major Deployments:

    • Lead Architect for San Francisco’s SFpark 2.0 upgrade

    • Technical Advisor to EU’s Smart Parking Initiative across 15 cities

  • Open Tools:

    • Released ParkSim – An open-source digital twin for parking policy testing

Signature Innovations

  • Patent: Magnetic-Resonance Enhanced Parking Detection (2024)

  • Publication: "Neural Nets Meet Curb Space: A Deep Reinforcement Learning Approach" (IEEE IoT Journal, 2025)

  • Award: 2025 ITS World Congress Best Urban Solution

Optional Customizations

  • For Municipalities: "Our systems increased parking revenue by 25% while reducing enforcement costs"

  • For Developers: "Cut integration time for smart garages by 60% with our API suite"

  • For Media: "Featured in Bloomberg’s ‘Cities That Park Smarter’ documentary"

Innovative Parking Solutions for Cities

Transforming urban parking through advanced data integration and AI-driven strategies for optimal allocation and pricing.

A concrete parking structure with ramps and barriers is visible, featuring a white vehicle parked against a backdrop of yellow-striped markings on the asphalt. The scene suggests an urban environment with an industrial design.

Smart Parking Solutions

Innovative frameworks for optimizing parking demand and availability through advanced data analysis.

A parking lot adjacent to a tall building with multiple cars parked. The cars include a black van, a red compact car, and several other black sedans. There is an old blue booth structure to the left of the image and a tree without leaves on the right. The surrounding area looks like an urban environment with concrete walls and buildings.
