Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPratik Prajapati is a results-driven software engineer with nearly two decades of hands-on experience spanning AI engineering, firmware, OS-level software and edge optimization, currently building at Tenstorrent after a long tenure at Intel. He specializes in designing, training and deploying ML and GenAI models—particularly LLMs, ViTs and diffusion models—plus practical PEFT techniques (LoRA, QLoRA, RLHF) and edge inference acceleration on NPUs. Pratik combines deep low-level expertise (Coreboot, Linux kernel, UEFI) with cloud deployment skills (AWS SageMaker, Docker) and a track record of porting and optimizing models to meet product KPIs. He has authored five research papers with over 190 citations and mentors 200+ Intel teammates in deep learning, bridging research and production. Not obviously apparent from his profile: he pairs large-scale model work with firmware code-generation research (RAG and finetuning) to automate SOC-specific low-level code, reflecting a rare cross-domain depth from silicon to LLMs.
