Pooja Ahuja is a Machine Learning Engineer with 13 years of experience building production ML systems and research-driven models across startups and enterprise teams in the Bay Area. Currently working on LLM-driven search at ServiceNow and prior to that advancing natural language understanding at Glean, she blends applied research with pragmatic engineering to ship scalable search and recommendation features. Her background spans deep learning research at HPE Aruba, founding ML work on anomaly and log classification at JASK, and production recommender and automation systems at Chewy, where she introduced novel recommendation math and the company’s first ML-driven pricing pipelines. She contributes practical automation tooling on GitHub—like a Selenium-based delivery slot autobuyer—and frequently moves ideas from prototype to production. Comfortable in both distributed data stacks (PySpark, AWS) and model research, Pooja pairs academic rigor (MS thesis in ML) with a knack for inventive, impact-driven solutions. Colleagues describe her as a problem-solver who surfaces simple rules from complex gradients to make models more actionable.
