Kritika Singh is a Software Engineer with 13 years of experience based in Mountain View, California, focused on speech recognition and ML systems. She has been at Facebook since 2015 and also conducts research at UC San Diego, bridging production engineering with academic inquiry. Her open-source contributions to Facebook Research's fairseq include improving CTC support, integrating wav2vec models, and hardening distributed training and checkpointing workflows. That blend of production-grade engineering and cutting-edge speech model development enables reliable deployment of advanced ASR components. Trained at IIT Kanpur and UC San Diego in computer science, she brings deep technical foundations and a knack for making research-ready models work at scale. An under-the-radar strength is her experience adapting pretraining pipelines to cooperate with external decoders, which smooths integration between research prototypes and real-world systems.
