Top SchoolTaapas Agrawal is a Software Engineer III at Cisco with eight years of experience blending production software engineering and academic research in reinforcement learning and multi-agent systems. He has hands-on experience building distributed databases and real-time pipelines using Kafka, MongoDB and Redis, and has moved between production roles and top-tier research internships at Mila, University of Alberta (RLAI), and Amii. His research has focused on model-based RL, embodied navigation and representation learning, and he has applied evolutionary and RL methods to coordinate humanoid robots for RoboCup competitions. A Google Summer of Code alumnus who contributed to Mercurial under the PSF, he bridges open-source practice with publishable research.
