Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSalil Navgire is a senior machine learning engineer with 12 years of experience building production ML systems across e-commerce, ads, and fashion tech. He currently works on Boost and Emerging Verticals Ads at Instagram, after driving search, classification, and ML platform efforts at L2 and Rank & Style. His strengths span end-to-end ML: model fine-tuning, feature engineering, scalable pipelines (ECS/SQS, Kubernetes), MLFlow integration, and semi-supervised/active learning that tripled labeling throughput. He has repeatedly deployed containerized prediction APIs, built AutoML tooling and CI/CD for models, and delivered high-accuracy NLP classifiers (multi-class F1s >99.5% in brand attribution). Comfortable moving between research and product, he combines rigorous academic training (MS from NYU, AI Nanodegree) with hands-on engineering that shortens model refresh cycles and reduces latency. An understated differentiator is his track record of operationalizing text and audio ML—turning experimental models into reliable, production-grade services.
