Frank Loewenich

Software engineer · Brisbane, Australia

I work on edge AI and computer vision for UAVs — PyTorch and ONNX models optimised to run on small hardware, and PX4/ROS 2 flight systems to carry them. Before that, 12 years of commercial mobile development, including iOS team leadership. Currently completing a Master's in AI & Robotics at QUT.

Selected work

DeepWeeds edge classifier

On-device weed classifier for the Australian DeepWeeds dataset, taken all the way to silicon — 96% top-1 at 2,200+ FPS on a Raspberry Pi 5 with a Hailo-8 NPU, within a point of the FP32 baseline, after an INT8 quantisation study that forced a change of backbone.

Krumbs: Recipe Keeper

iOS app that turns shared links into clean recipe cards — on-device AI extraction, meal planning, and private iCloud sync. On the App Store in Australia and the Philippines.
