Senior🎓
Top SchoolKonik Kothari is a Senior Machine Learning Engineer in Mountain View with a decade of experience building production ML systems for search quality and ads retrieval, most recently at Pinterest and previously at Google. He holds a PhD from UIUC where his research spanned deep learning for medical and seismic imaging and computational mechanics, blending domain-driven modeling with modern ML. Konik has a track record of turning research into product impact through internships at NVIDIA and Google and applied projects like travel recommendation systems at Visa Research. Comfortable across the stack from algorithm design to deployment, he brings both academic rigor and large-scale industry experience to complex retrieval and imaging problems. An unusual thread through his career is the marriage of mechanical engineering intuition with deep learning, which informs his approach to robustness and interpretable models.
