Pratik Kayal is a machine learning engineer based in Amsterdam with eight years of experience building research-driven ML solutions across startups, academia, and industry. He combines hands-on model development and deployment—most recently at Rabobank—with a research background as a Research Fellow at NYU Abu Dhabi, where his publications have earned over 400 citations. Comfortable leading small teams and taking ownership in fast-paced environments, he has applied ML to domains from video synthesis (Rephrase.ai) to agritech and plant disease detection. Pratik holds an MS in Artificial Intelligence from UvA and a BTech from IIT Gandhinagar, blending strong theoretical grounding with practical product instincts. An uncommon strength is his ability to translate algebraic and geometric ML research into pragmatic solutions, evidenced by cross-disciplinary projects and teaching roles.
