Aman Kansal is a machine learning engineer with eight years of experience, currently building long-horizon tool-calling systems at xAI after leading deep research agents as an early engineer at Parallel. He holds an MS in Computer Science (AI) from Stanford and a BS from IIT Bombay, and his AI research has been published at top venues including NeurIPS and ICASSP. Aman combines production-focused engineering—speeding systems 3x and improving P/R on privacy models—with academic rigor from multiple Stanford teaching and head TA roles, including CS 230 with Andrew Ng. Based in Palo Alto, he has practical experience from startups to large engineering teams (Samsung) and a knack for translating research into robust product features like language-model-driven anonymization. Colleagues describe him as driven by complex technical challenges and keen to collaborate on research-forward engineering problems.
