Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolHareeshwar Karthikeyan is a Senior Data Scientist based in Boston with six years of experience building production-grade ML and real-time agentic AI systems that drive product and revenue impact. At Cherry he shapes data and AI strategy while previously delivering multimodal retrieval, real-time voice-ordering prototypes, and revenue-driving bundling models at Toast—including work accepted to NeurIPS 2025. He blends strong MLOps and engineering chops (Spark, Flink, MLFlow, QLoRA fine-tuning, pgVector/DynamoDB caching) with hands-on model research from his Google-funded NLP work on political misinformation. A former valedictorian and full-ride graduate instructor, he pairs academic rigor with a founder’s grit—having launched a bootstrapped startup and built mobile/AR products during undergrad. He’s drawn to messy, cross-cutting problems and also mentors startups locally through Startup Boston, reflecting a mix of product-minded execution and community leadership. Outside work he competes in regional badminton tournaments and keeps an unconventional balance—“a cook who codes” who likes cold showers and pretending to be James Bond at Starbucks.
