Summary
Vivek Kaushik is an AI research scientist with a Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics and nine years of experience turning advanced math into production ML for observability and telemetry at eBay. He has patented and operationalized real-time algorithms that detect root causes, forecast metric behavior, and guided high-stakes decisions such as disabling major payment gateways using Bayesian and Monte Carlo methods. Vivek blends theoretical tools—stochastic process analysis, path signatures, Fourier and wavelet techniques—with practical systems work (Prometheus queries, SageMaker) to revamp SLOs and surface actionable insights during global incidents. Based in Pleasanton, he pairs rigorous quantitative research with applied engineering, and outside of tech he is an accomplished classical pianist who draws inspiration from Russian and Caucasus repertoire.
