Join us on October 1 to learn how AI is changing the way we inspect our roads!
Blue Dome Technologies provides artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) automated visual inspection solutions for transportation and civil infrastructure. As part of the San Pablo Avenue project team alongside prime contractor WMH Group and partner AECOM, Blue Dome delivers high-accuracy, cost-effective pavement condition assessments and roadway defect analysis.
By deploying automated computer vision directly onto real-world drive data, Blue Dome eliminates the need for slow, manual ground inspections, reducing safety risks for field crews while delivering auditable, spatial data to guide engineering and maintenance decisions.

 | Swaroop Patnaik is a deep-tech entrepreneur and engineering executive with more than 20 years of experience transforming imaging algorithms, data architectures, and predictive analytics into market-leading enterprise solutions. His innovations have served as foundational technology for organizations such as NASA, Visa, and HP, and have contributed to four successful company acquisitions. While working with NASA at Stanford University, Swaroop developed systems for managing high-volume Hubble Space Telescope imaging data. He later led the creation of a predictive analytics platform for semiconductor manufacturing that reduced service costs by 50%, became a global SEMI industry standard, and was acquired by Brooks Automation. |
Today, Swaroop is the Founder and CEO of Blue Dome Technologies, a spatial data platform helping transform transportation and infrastructure management. Blue Dome combines advanced computer vision expertise with a scalable Human-in-the-Loop operation to convert standard vehicle-mounted hardware into automated inspection systems for public works and asset management.
Swaroop holds a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from the National Institute of Technology (NIT) / REC Rourkela, India, and an M.S. in Systems Engineering from the State University of New York at Buffalo.
