Summary
Saurav Dhakad is a Senior Machine Learning Engineer with nine years of experience building computer vision, generative AI, and multimodal systems that bridge research and production. With an M.S. from Columbia, he has shipped diffusion models, multi-view synthesis, and large-scale synthetic data pipelines across Unity, Genies’ Avatars R&D, and now Roblox. He excels at turning novel ML research into scalable engineering — from synthesizing training data to deploying models in real-time graphics and avatar pipelines. Comfortable in both experimentation and production contexts, he brings deep domain knowledge in visual ML plus practical experience optimizing systems for product constraints. A lesser-known thread in his background is hands-on work with driving-data analysis and teaching, reflecting strong data foundations and clear technical communication.
