Senior🎓
Top SchoolUtkarsh Porwal is a senior machine learning leader with 10 years of experience designing and shipping large-scale conversational AI, search, and NLP products for both consumer audiences and enterprise clients. He has led end-to-end data product lifecycles—from framing business problems and building ETL pipelines to modeling, deployment, and monitoring—across roles at Apple, Walmart Global Tech, JLL, and eBay. At Walmart he drove sponsored-products algorithms (intent understanding, retrieval, ranking, auctions) and spearheaded agentic AI for B2B use cases, while earlier work focused on ranking, query expansion, and spell correction. He pairs deep research roots (PhD-level CS background and research internships at Adobe and Fujitsu Labs) with hands-on operational experience, making trade-offs between model accuracy and production reliability. Based in San Francisco, he is especially skilled at translating complex language understanding challenges into scalable, user-facing systems used by millions.
