Portrait of Carl Betzler

Carl Betzler

Product leader shaping the systems behind Physical AI

Currently building AI platform @ Nuro

I build the data pipelines, feedback loops, and eval systems that turn AI models into products that hold up in production. That work has spanned autonomous vehicles at Nuro and computer vision at scale in Amazon fulfillment centers.

Data Discovery

Multi-modal search infrastructure

Engineering teams needed a way to find specific scenarios across massive volumes of unstructured sensor data — without manual review.

Fast and precise embedding search — with natural language or image.

Autonomous Ops

Fleet optimization for data collection

Data collection throughput was constrained by fleet scheduling, allocation, and sensor reliability.

Ops management tooling, automated troubleshooting, and route targeting.

Training Data

Data annotation tooling

Labeling was a bottleneck on both scale and consistency for training data.

Auto and LLM-based labeling infra, augmented with human judgement.

Quality Inspection

Computer vision for defect detection

Manual inspection couldn't scale to catch product-quality issues across high-volume operations.

Deep learning models to identify anomalies and reduce manual review.
