AI Engineer at Fermi AI
Bengaluru, Karnataka, India
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolVarun Tulsian is an AI engineer with a decade of experience building production-grade ML systems that prioritize measurable outcomes and user-facing reliability. He led 0→1 GenAI and retrieval efforts at Needl.ai, shipping long-document finance QA and custom reporting tooling that turned 1–2.5k page PDFs into analyst-ready artifacts with citations and trust scores. At Walmart he connected ranking and personalization work to retail KPIs across marketplace and search, and earlier built a real-time personalization engine handling 10M+ events/day. Varun favors an eval-first, small-scope shipping cadence—thin slice, measure, then scale—and enforces cost guardrails, eval harnesses, and clear ownership across retrieval/eval/serving/UI. He combines applied ML research instincts with hands-on deployment experience (layout-aware parsing, bi-/cross-encoders, on-prem LLM serving), and has grown teams while keeping a strict stance against silent errors in user-facing flows. Based in Bengaluru, he’s practical, evidence-driven, and repeatedly turns complex long-doc and search problems into auditable, high-precision products.
