Arkil Thakkar is a Principal Member of Technical Staff based in Chicago with 9 years of experience designing and shipping large-scale ML platforms and data pipelines across Amazon and Oracle. He has architected end-to-end experimentation and model deployment systems—processing 60-day user histories, engineering 220+ features, and enabling daily scoring for 100M+ users—while driving CI/CD modernization that halved release cycles. Arkil blends deep backend and big-data expertise (Spark, EMR, SageMaker, Fargate) with product-focused experimentation work, including a parallel experiments system that scaled A/B testing capacity by 60% for a 5B+ req/day service. Early work spans geospatial analytics, feature engineering, and serverless full-stack tools that reduced experiment setup time by hours, reflecting his knack for automating complex workflows. He holds a master’s in software engineering from San José State University and consistently pairs research-minded rigor with production-grade engineering.
