I'm Julius Hietala, a published machine learning scientist with a passion for bridging the gap between advanced algorithms and practical applications. I am currently shaping the future of fulfillment at Nimble Robotics, where I develop intelligent robots that revolutionize warehouse operations. As the CTO of multiple startups, I have led teams in creating cutting-edge solutions and driving technological advancements. Additionally, I founded Junction, one of the largest hackathons in the world, fostering innovation and collaboration within the tech community. My work includes authoring "Learning Visual Feedback Control for Dynamic Cloth Folding" (IEEE, August 7, 2022), which was recognized as a Best Paper Award Finalist and received multiple accolades at the International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (Kyoto, Japan, October 2022).
