Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolBedapudi Praneeth is a Senior NLP Engineer with a decade of experience building production-grade speech and language systems from Mumbai. He has led end-to-end ASR and conversational AI projects—tuning language models, implementing hot-swappable inference pipelines, and shipping smart punctuation and chapter-detection APIs at DeepAffects (now RingCentral). Earlier roles span document understanding, low-data NER, and robust extraction from noisy OCR’d contracts, plus practical experience accelerating search and migration pipelines. He contributes to open-source ML tooling (notably work on a lightweight NudeNet nudity detector) and is comfortable taking models from research through dockerized, Kubernetes-deployed production services. Trained at IIT Guwahati, he blends strong engineering pragmatism with research-minded experimentation, often squeezing large gains in latency and accuracy for real-world constraints.
