About Me

👋 Hi there! I'm Rahul, a Machine Learning Engineer on a mission to demystify AI and machine learning for practitioners at all levels. With over a decade in tech, including roles at Facebook (Meta), Walmart, and Citi, I write about ML engineering from the perspective of someone who's been in the trenches.

There's often a misconception that working in ML/AI means you automatically understand every new development in this rapidly evolving field. This newsletter is all about providing a trusted resource from someone who's walking the same path and facing the same challenges you are today.

Currently, I'm building AI solutions at Roku in London, where I focus on scaling machine learning systems. I'm tool agnostic and believe in choosing the right tool for the job, though Python, Hadoop, and Spark are my daily companions.
