About
Kadam Parikh
Lead AI/ML Engineer. I turn LLM prototypes into systems teams can trust, working alongside the people who use them, and I lead the teams that ship them.
Ahmedabad, India
The short version
I have spent 7+ years building AI systems across healthcare, finance, retail, cryptocurrency, social media and real estate. I started in classical machine learning and computer vision, and my work has moved to LLM and agentic systems.
My focus is turning promising LLM demos into systems people rely on. That means working with business analysts, product managers and domain experts to define the use case, measuring a system before trusting it, keeping a model’s job narrow, and handing over something a team can operate. The aim is AI that supports decision-making without replacing human judgment.
Client names are withheld, so the projects describe what I built and how it was measured. Projects built by teams I led are marked Led and credited to those teams.
