Summary
Sachin Salim is a software engineer and AI researcher with nine years of experience building production-grade applications and research-grade deep learning systems across industry and academia. He has shipped full-stack features and cloud integrations at Adobe, scaled NLP and ETL pipelines on AWS for enterprise clients, and prototyped real-time neural decoding and MRI reconstruction models at top labs including USC and Michigan. Comfortable moving between TypeScript/React front-ends, Node.js backends, and PyTorch-based 3D deep learning, he combines applied ML with strong engineering practices like CI/CD, containerization, and distributed data processing. His work spans computer vision, 3D deep learning, signal processing and computational neuroscience, with concrete contributions to biomarker discovery and BCI finger-kinematics prediction. Notably, he has led cross-disciplinary projects—from octopus motor-control studies to LLM-powered enterprise analytics—demonstrating an unusual blend of biological insight and scalable software delivery. Based in India, he is now focused on roles that bridge AI research and product engineering to deliver impactful, uncertainty-aware models.
