About
Hey there! 👋I’m Rajesh Sathyakumar, a software engineer based in Tempe, AZ. I’m passionate about Machine Learning and operationalization. ✨
Currently, I’m a Software Engineer at W4 Labs, rocking LLM ops, and prompt engineering in recent days. Proud MS in Computer Science grad from Arizona State University (May ‘23). Explored Quantum Machine Learning as a Research Associate at SenSIP Lab under Dr. Andreas Spanias. Also did my masters thesis advised by him 💡. Oh, and I’ve TA’d for FSE100 and CS110 at ASU. Previously, I was a software engineer at Zoho Corporation and data analyst at The Advisory Board Company. 🚀
As a proud alum of my undergrad alma mater, I’ve mentored students to snag the runner-up spot in All-India Hackathons ‘17 and ‘18 🏆. I have delivered several presentations on topics in web performance optimizations, IT work culture etc. Beyond the tech world, I also love playing cricket, chess, and table tennis.
Current Interests
- Model monitoring and observability in modern LLMs
- Explainability in modern deep learning models
If someone is exploring these subjects or keen on delving deeper or collaborating on a project together, feel free to get in touch with me through email.
