Senior🎓
Top SchoolAbhilash Shankarampeta is a machine learning engineer with a decade of experience building production ML systems, currently at Cisco after roles at Amazon and Meesho and an MS in Data Science from UCSD. He has driven large-scale search and ranking improvements for 130M+ monthly users, shipping low-latency multimodal retrieval, query understanding, and MoE-based ranking that materially boosted long-tail and new-product conversion. His background spans industry and research—publishing on Tabular NLI and contributing fixes to the high-profile pytorch/vision repo—reflecting both applied deployment expertise and attention to model robustness. Comfortable with GPU inference stacks (Nvidia Triton) and multilingual/deep representation models (XLM-R, FLAVA), he combines systems thinking with hands-on model optimization. Notably, he blends product impact and community building, having organized NLP communities at IITG and contributed open-source fixes to core vision tooling.

Contributions summary:Abhilash contributed to the `pytorch/vision` repository by addressing several issues within the codebase related to computer vision models and datasets. Their work included adding warnings and notes for dependencies like `scipy`, removing Python 2.x code, and replacing `imp` with `importlib`. They also implemented a check for degenerate bounding boxes in the generalized RCNN model and fixed atrous rates for the `deeplabv3_mobilenet_v3_large` model.
