Summary
Pramod Mudrakarta is a software engineer in Mountain View with a PhD in Computer Science and nine years of experience bridging machine learning research and production software. He has published at top conferences (NeurIPS, ACL, ICLR) and translated research into practice through multiple internships and a current engineering role at Google, focusing on model interpretability, efficient deployment, and parameter-efficient transfer. His doctoral work tackled multiresolution structure, interpretability, and large-scale model deployment on embedded devices—areas he continues to operationalize in industry settings. Comfortable with rigorous research and sound software engineering practices, he has a track record of uncovering model failure modes and building practical methods to mitigate them. An IIT Bombay alumnus with international research experience (Saarland, Max Planck, UChicago), he brings both theoretical depth and hands-on experience shipping ML systems at scale.
