Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMeghana Bhange is a graduate researcher and applied ML engineer with eight years of experience building production ML systems and researching the societal impacts of algorithms. Based in Montreal and currently at Mila, her work sits at the intersection of machine learning, privacy, and Algorithmic Collective Action, aiming to design socio-technical tools that empower communities rather than just individuals. She has a strong track record shipping NLP and multilingual models in production—from improving name-extraction F1 by 47% to deploying conversational ML for chatbots—and freelances as an AI developer through Toptal. Meghana combines rigorous academic training (ongoing PhD and master’s work) with hands-on engineering across startups and research labs, bringing both practical deployment experience and theoretical depth. Colleagues describe her as a curious generalist (self-styled “aspiring cat”) who enjoys dabbling across Python and ML stacks while keeping ethical and privacy considerations front and center.
