Nikhil Kashyap is a Senior Machine Learning Engineer based in Seattle with eight years of experience building production-grade AI systems across industry, academia, and stealth startups. He has recent tenure at Apple and a string of roles focused on LLM fine-tuning, RAG agents, multimodal conversational AI, and neural search—bridging research-grade models (BERT, ViT, GNNs) with scalable microservices and real-time indexing. His background includes applied work on neuromorphic processor estimation, telecom routing prediction, and high-throughput video inference, showing a knack for adapting models to constrained and operational environments. Colleagues know him as someone who "reads business models the way most people read code," hunting for hidden failure modes as part of product design. He pairs an MS in Electrical and Electronics Engineering from the University of Washington with hands-on deployment experience, making him effective at moving prototypes into reliable production. Notably, he has repeatedly shipped multimodal and retrieval-augmented systems in short cycles, indicating strength in fast iteration and pragmatic model engineering.
