Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolKai Rawal is a computer scientist and ML engineer with a decade of experience building explainability, evaluation, and monitoring solutions for AI across research and product settings. He blends academic rigor—research roles at Oxford, Harvard, and Hasso Plattner Institute and a PhD underway at Oxford—with hands-on production work at startups like Fiddler and Gantry, where he implemented low-latency model monitoring and robust LLM evaluation pipelines that eliminated hallucinations in evaluations. Kai contributes to classical AI tooling as a back-end contributor to the widely used aima-python repository, fixing algorithmic bugs and adding tests and planning features. His work spans XAI methods, automatic hallucination detection, and operational metrics for both modern LLMs and classical models, making him comfortable at the intersection of research, engineering, and policy. Based in London, he brings a rare combination of top-tier academic training (Harvard, Politecnico di Milano, BITS Pilani) and practical delivery experience in production ML systems.
