About Maivico

Purpose and Focus

At Maivico, we help startups and SMEs build computer vision products when they need specialist support without a full-time hire.

Robust computer vision takes more than a model that works on test data. It has to handle real operating conditions, fit the wider system, and remain maintainable. Hiring a permanent specialist can take time, offshore coordination can slow decisions, and generalist agencies may not offer the required depth. AI-assisted tools can speed up development, but their output still needs technical review before production.

We provide computer vision consulting and engineering through flexible projects and ongoing support. You get direct access to specialist expertise for audits, technical decisions, development, and production deployment.

Sandro Lombardi

Sandro Lombardi

Founder and Computer Vision Engineer

Sandro Lombardi studied computer science with a focus on visual computing at ETH Zurich, after which he pursued a doctorate in computer vision at the Computer Vision and Geometry Group (CVG). During his PhD and postdoc years, he focused on 3D reconstruction and neural representations, working in close collaboration with ETH spin-off Astrivis on bridging the gap from research to production systems.

He founded Maivico to offer independent computer vision consulting and engineering across research, development, and production. He holds the HERMES 2022 Foundation certification and is familiar with the project management methodology established in Switzerland. Through Maivico, he helps startups and SMEs develop practical computer vision solutions for real-world use.
