Summary
Yash Aggarwal is a multidisciplinary engineer and researcher based in the San Francisco Bay Area with nine years of experience spanning software, machine learning, and quantitative trading. Currently exploring constrained work at TIME and conducting reinforcement learning and robot learning research at UC Berkeley’s BAIR lab, he blends rigorous academic training (EECS Honors, Applied Math, and Data Science at Berkeley) with hands-on industry internships at Apple, Jane Street, and Kohl’s. He’s taught discrete mathematics and probability as a TA, bringing clear technical communication to complex topics, and has applied ML in production-adjacent settings like automatic data labeling and startup ML engineering. Comfortable moving between research codes and production constraints, Yash pairs a quantitative trading mindset with robotics and RL curiosity—an uncommon mix that helps translate theory into practical systems.
