Summary
Atharva Amdekar is an applied scientist with nine years of experience blending academic rigor from Stanford’s Computational and Mathematical Engineering program with hands-on product work at Amazon and a stealth startup. His background spans graduate research at SAIL, quantitative research and trading roles, and teaching, which gives him a rare mix of machine learning research, probabilistic modeling, and productionization experience. He moves comfortably between prototype research and shipping robust ML systems in industry, having returned to Amazon in a full-time applied scientist role after internships and startup founding. Based in Palo Alto, he pairs deep math/CS training from IIT Guwahati with practical quantitative finance experience, and a teaching stint that suggests strong communication and mentorship skills.
