Summary
Pranav Dhakras is a Deep Learning Engineer based in Madrid with 9 years of engineering experience and 5+ years focused on ML, NLP, LLMs and generative AI applied to Customer Service and HR Tech. He has a proven track record of taking solutions from research and ideation to production—building multilingual GenAI contact summarization and conversational microservices at PayPal and leading interpretable recommendation models and large-scale annotation projects in HR tech. Comfortable bridging product, business and engineering, he combines practical MLOps (Flask/Docker microservices, CI/CD) with prompt engineering and performance-driven model design. Pranav’s background spans both industry research and academic work from IIIT Hyderabad, and he often pairs scalable engineering with hands-on mentorship and process leadership. A less obvious strength is his history of shipping cross-platform product engineering early in his career, which informs his pragmatic approach to production reliability today.
