Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolSrihari Unnikrishnan is a Lead AI Engineer based in Bengaluru with a decade of experience building production-grade ML and LLM systems across startups, research labs, and enterprise teams. He combines hands-on deployment experience—reducing inference costs and latency for OpenLLMs and building RAG pipelines used by millions—with research chops from a Microsoft Research India internship focused on AIOps, explainability, and memory-augmented LLM workflows. His work spans full-stack product delivery (MERN, AWS/Azure), voice assistants, and quantitative models for finance and risk, and he has led cross-functional efforts that delivered measurable gains like 300% faster prompt responses and a 0.78 F1 on churn prediction. An active open-source front-end contributor to notable FOSSASIA projects, he balances UX-focused commits with backend model engineering. Colleagues describe him as someone who toggles between “doing the math” and shipping user-facing features, bringing both research rigor and pragmatic engineering to AI products.
