Summary
Megha Agarwal is a Member of Technical Staff with a decade of experience building and scaling ML systems, currently focused on LLM inference at Anthropic after leading generative AI and Mosaic research efforts at Databricks. She has a strong track record deploying low-latency, high-throughput ML services in production—from serving 800K+ requests per minute at CRED to on-device DNN optimizations at Samsung—and bridges research and engineering fluently. Her academic work at UC San Diego produced a novel framework for auditing image classifiers using counterfactual latent representations, reflecting a knack for interpretable, data-efficient solutions. Comfortable across cloud-scale pipelines (Spark, Kafka, Redshift), model optimization in C++, and causal/counterfactual analysis for business impact, she operates at the intersection of systems, ML research, and product metrics. Based in San Francisco, she combines deep technical execution with experience teaching and mentoring graduate students, bringing both rigor and practicality to production AI.
