Summary
Vaasudev Narayanan is an Applied Scientist II at Amazon with a decade of experience building ML solutions for Last Mile logistics, specializing in LLMs and VLMs for address hierarchy extraction and related operational problems. He holds a research-focused Master’s in Computer Science from IIT Hyderabad and has a strong research internship background spanning computer vision, sports analytics and anomaly detection at institutes and labs including Preferred Networks, IIIT-H, IISc and ISI. Vaasudev blends academic rigor with production impact—moving models from novel research (e.g., player performance evaluation and outlier detection) into practical systems at Amazon and prior industrial internships. Based in Hyderabad, he is comfortable at the intersection of applied research and engineering, with a track record of shipping algorithmic features that directly support large-scale logistics. A less obvious strength is his breadth across NLP, vision and security-tinged projects dating back to early internships, which enables him to tackle cross-modal, end-to-end problems.
