Amazon • Full-time

Jan 2025 - Present • 1 yr 6 mos

I’m a Research Scientist working on Amazon’s Grocery team, focused on building data-driven systems that improve how products are stocked, priced, and delivered. My work combines machine learning, forecasting, and optimization to solve real-world supply chain challenges—like predicting demand, reducing waste, and ensuring customers get what they need, when they need it. I design and deploy scalable models using large, complex datasets, collaborating closely with engineering and product teams to turn research into production systems. My projects often involve time series modeling, recommendation systems, and experimentation (A/B testing) to continuously improve performance. Tech stack includes Python, SQL, AWS, and modern ML frameworks. Passionate about applying AI to practical problems at scale.

Research Scientist

Google • Full-time

Mar 2020 - Dec 2024 • 4 yrs 9 mos

I’m a Research Scientist working on Google’s Gemini team, focused on advancing large language models and multimodal AI systems. My work centers on improving reasoning, generation quality, and real-world applicability of foundation models across text, code, and multimodal inputs. I design and experiment with model architectures, fine-tuning strategies, and evaluation frameworks to enhance performance, safety, and alignment. I collaborate closely with engineering and product teams to bring cutting-edge research into scalable, production-ready systems used by millions. My work involves LLM training, prompt optimization, RAG pipelines, and model evaluation at scale. Tech stack includes Python, JAX/PyTorch, and distributed systems on Google Cloud. Passionate about pushing the boundaries of AI and building systems that are both powerful and responsible.
