Summary
Mani Teja is a Senior Machine Learning Engineer with 11 years of experience specializing in MLOps, NLP, and productionizing large-scale ML systems. He has built ML platforms and tooling at Gojek and Atlassian that enable data scientists to deploy, monitor, and cost-optimize models—driving a 60% reduction in cost per billion predictions year-over-year. Earlier work at Engati focused on conversational AI, document search, and NLU pipelines using models like USE and DistilBERT, and he’s hands-on in integrating MLflow, containerization, and SLIs/SLOs for latency-sensitive services. Currently pursuing an executive PG in ML & AI at IIIT Bangalore, Mani combines continuous academic upskilling with practical platform engineering, and maintains an active GitHub showcasing his interests in deep learning and LLMs. Less obvious: he moves fluidly between mentoring new engineers and owning critical production support, reflecting both technical depth and operational reliability.
