Speaker Bio:
Tjimon Louisy is an Operational Systems Engineer at Zipline and has spent the past four years working on Zipline’s long-range delivery platform (P1). He operates at the interface of engineering and operations — validating that designs are grounded in operational reality, overseeing staged rollouts to ensure smooth integration, and monitoring real-world performance to deliver actionable feedback. Far from an algorithm designer, Tjimon brings an ops-first perspective to autonomy, translating field constraints into practical requirements for the autonomy stack.
