Senior🎓
Top SchoolKaushik Patnaik is a Staff Research Engineer with 11+ years building 0-to-1 AI products and systems, currently developing multimodal agents and assistants for wearables at Meta. He combines deep research (CVPR/NeurIPS publications) and product-focused engineering from startups to hyperscalers, having led LLM-based autonomous agents at Minion.ai and vision/quantization work for Apple Vision Pro. Kaushik has strong end-to-end experience in production ML—data pipelines, evaluation frameworks, model compression, and satellite imagery CV—plus hands-on leadership as a tech lead and co-founder. He’s equally comfortable inventing novel algorithms (neural architecture search, mixed-precision quantization) and shipping them into real-world deployments, often reducing latency while improving accuracy. Based in California, he brings a pragmatic research mindset rooted in academic rigor from Georgia Tech, and a recurring theme in his career is turning complex, multi-modal research into robust, customer-facing systems.
