Aabir Kar is a Machine Learning Engineer with nine years of experience building end-to-end AI products, currently applying multimodal and edge ML at Samsara to improve safety and efficiency across millions of logistics operations. He’s a full-stack ML generalist who has taken products from 0 to 1 and prototypes from 1 to 100, with hands-on expertise spanning data engineering, applied ML, systems design, and MLOps. Previously he led personalization and recommendation efforts at Multimedia and experimented with a knowledge-graph fact-checker startup, reflecting both product curiosity and rigorous technical grounding. His background includes three years of academic research on topics from algorithmic trust to monsoon prediction and contributions to the well-known aima-python repo, where he improved documentation, LaTeX integration, and test coverage. Based in the Chicago area with a Master’s from the University of Chicago and a BITS Pilani undergraduate degree, he blends research depth with practical delivery—and in his spare time composes music and organizes cultural events near Lake Michigan.
