Summary
Rishikesh Aluguvelli is an AI/ML engineer and data scientist with eight years of engineering experience and a strong focus on production-grade ML systems. Currently building personalization and hybrid search solutions for 400K+ podcast episodes at Spice, he blends vector search (Pinecone), PostgreSQL full-text search, Redis caching, and AWS orchestration to deliver sub-200ms p95 responses. His background includes large-scale migration and frontend work at Amazon, plus hands-on NLP and document-processing prototypes from an earlier data science internship. A University at Buffalo Robotics & AI master’s graduate (3.9 GPA), Rishikesh pairs research-grade rigor with practical cloud-native engineering. He’s comfortable across the stack—from Lambdas, ECS, and Step Functions to FastAPI and Docker—and notable for bridging semantic search with real-time CDC indexing for low-latency personalization.
