Senior🎓
Top SchoolPranav Budhwant is an Applied AI Engineer with nine years of experience building end-to-end ML systems that bridge research and production, specializing in agentic AI, multimodal vision-language models, and retrieval-augmented generation. He thrives at the 0→1 stage, taking problems from system design and rapid prototyping to deployed, customer-facing solutions across distributed inference, vector DBs, and real-time pipelines. His background spans medical and surveillance computer vision, fine-tuning multimodal LLMs (e.g., LLaVA variants), and productionizing LLM agent pipelines using LangChain, LangSmith, Ollama, and Qdrant. Notable projects include embedding-based video search and alerting over large camera fleets and a CRM-integrated multi-agent outreach system that optimized on-prem inference across a distributed Ollama cluster. Based in San Francisco, he combines academic research experience in long-range video re-identification with hands-on ML systems work on AWS, SageMaker, and WandB. On the side he’s exploring Video AI and Voice Agents that merge multimodal perception with autonomous decision-making.
