Summary
Harsh Maheshwari is an Applied Scientist at Amazon with eight years of hands-on experience applying deep learning and ML to production problems across computer vision, NLP and geospatial domains. A dual-degree graduate from IIT Kharagpur, he has built and deployed multiple low-latency, high-precision systems for advertising moderation, geocode prediction, and video auto-correction, including models optimized for Inferentia and large-model fine-tuning pipelines. He’s delivered measurable gains — e.g., a 23% improvement in address-completeness classification and recall/precision targets ≥95%/≥90% on moderation defects — while working end-to-end from data synthesis to deployment. Past research internships at Carnegie Mellon and published work in medical imaging and domain-adaptive detection highlight his ability to translate SOTA research into industrial products. Known for fast promotions and cross-functional leadership, he also brings practical expertise in LLM inference stacks, RAG, contrastive learning, and large-scale task-assignment simulation.
