Work Experience

Machine Learning Engineer at Pinterest
August 1, 2024 - Present
Led LLM-powered generative retrieval and semantic ranking initiatives to boost diversity and engagement; implemented dense embedding pipelines for semantic search and RAG-based retrieval; developed ANN-based candidate generation with Faiss (IVF-HNSW) for scalable, high-quality recommendations; designed distributed data pipelines on AWS EMR with Spark; built scalable multi-stage inference workflows and microservice-based ML architectures (TorchScript deployment) to improve throughput and latency; leveraged AWS S3 and Iceberg on S3 for feature storage and experiment tracking.
Machine Learning Engineer at Amazon India
January 1, 2020 - July 1, 2023
Enhanced multilingual query understanding by 34% for code-mixed inputs; reduced API latency by 29% via optimized real-time inference pipelines and caching; increased data processing efficiency by 38% with scalable ETL on AWS Glue and S3 for multilingual datasets. Built and fine-tuned transformer-based models (XLM-R, mT5) for multilingual NLP tasks, deployed on AWS (EC2, SageMaker) with monitoring (CloudWatch) and robust backend services.
