Summary
Archit Kaila is a Director of ML Engineering with nine years of experience building production AI systems and a Master’s in AI from Duke, currently leading ML engineering at Eli Lilly. He has a track record of deploying NLP and LLM-based solutions that drive multi-million dollar savings and operational efficiency, including entity extraction for adverse event reports and RAG-powered Q&A systems. Comfortable from research to production, his tooling expertise spans PyTorch, TensorFlow, RLHF, and cloud platforms like SageMaker and Azure, and he designs containerized, scalable ML pipelines. A "deep and narrow" engineer and storyteller, he blends technical rigor with user-centered thinking and has presented healthcare ML work at INFORMS. Less obvious: he has repeatedly translated academic projects and startup wins into measurable enterprise impact, from commodity forecasting that saved millions to predictive hospital workflows.
