Lead AI/ML Engineer

AI systems that hold up in production.

I’m Kadam Parikh. For 7+ years I’ve built machine-learning and generative-AI systems and led the teams behind them, with one aim: AI that is measured, transparent and tied to the decision it supports.

01 Focus

Where I’m most useful

  • When a promising demo has to become something people rely onTurn LLM prototypes into systems teams can trust: structured outputs, cost control, production hardening.
  • When nobody can say whether it’s actually workingBuild the evaluation harness: judges checked against hand labels, controlled A/B runs, so “better” is a number.
  • When the inputs are messy: documents, specs, voice, scattered dataTurn unstructured inputs into dependable, checkable decisions.
  • When you need someone embedded with the problem, from model to interfaceWork alongside the people who use it, scope what matters, then build and own the result.

03 Approach

How I work

  1. Measure the measurement

    Run the baseline more than once before trusting any before-and-after comparison. See it in practice

  2. Test the obvious fix

    The intuitive improvement is sometimes the one that hurts. Check it with a controlled comparison first. See it in practice

  3. Find the waste

    Quantify what a pipeline repeats or discards before adding more model calls. See it in practice
