Applied Scientist II at Amazon Web Services (AWS)
Seattle, Washington, United States
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolVarun Mannam is an applied scientist with eight years of experience building production-grade generative AI and multimodal ML systems, currently advancing healthcare AI and contact center automation at AWS. He designs and evaluates LLM agents, RAG pipelines, and privacy-forward data generation workflows, and has led SFT/LoRA customization on large Nova models for medical notes. His background spans deep learning for microscopy image restoration and low-cost video annotation from his PhD work at Notre Dame to hands-on MLOps and cloud deployments across Amazon products. Varun blends research rigor—multiple workshop papers and a patent submission—with product impact, having driven fraud detection and benefits-assistant systems that identified large cost savings. He’s comfortable across modalities (text, image, video, voice/STT/TTS) and integrates knowledge graphs, EHR APIs, and benchmarking frameworks into robust ML solutions. A less obvious strength is his cross-domain fluency: he moves fluidly between low-level signal/MIMO problems from early career work and state-of-the-art large-model engineering for healthcare applications.
