Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSudheer Kolachina is a Senior AI Engineer based in Cambridge with 11 years of experience building speech, NLP and generative-AI systems across industry leaders including Oracle, AstraZeneca and Amazon. He combines deep computational linguistics training (PhD-level work at MIT) with hands-on engineering—shipping low-WER multilingual ASR, neural TTS voices, and language ID for code-mixed text—often in resource-constrained settings. His recent work spans LLM-driven misinformation detection, retrieval-augmented fact-checking, and production-focused Rust and PyTorch implementations. Sudheer has a track record of turning linguistic insights into practical models (e.g., forced alignment, pronunciation lexicons, syllabification algorithms and self-harm risk classifiers) and mentoring peers while driving high-impact POCs. Notably, he blends academic rigor with deployment experience across healthcare, clinical documentation and voice assistant domains, making him fluent at bridging research and product engineering.
