Summary
Eshani Patel is a software engineer focused on systems, infrastructure, and machine learning, currently completing a CS degree at Caltech and relocating to full-time work in summer/fall 2025. She blends research-grade ML on neural and astrophysical data with production experience—productionalizing XGBoost/Random Forest models and building Spark/Scala ETL pipelines at LinkedIn. Her Caltech research spans self-supervised transformers for iEEG and multi-modal diffusion models for dark matter reconstruction, with practical wins like a ~40% memory reduction enabling training on lower-spec servers. Comfortable across Java, Python, Scala, and cloud data stacks (GCP, Pub/Sub, Dataflow, BigQuery), she has shipped big-data logging and CI/CD for large classes and production services. Beyond code, she brings a knack for making complex research systems operational and mentors peers through TA leadership; outside work she plays basketball and stays active in her local Cupertino community.
