Hi, I'm Yashwanth.

I'm a machine learning engineer that loves building systems from the ground up.

The only thing I love more than training neural networks is for them to actually have an impact on real life.

I'm currently training large reinforcement learning agents that save electricity at Zodhya. I also fiddle with LLMs both professionally and in my personal projects.

Prior to this, I studied AI and ML at UoH and computer science at JNTUH.

In my free time I like to play the drums, carve, draw, lift weights and run.

This website serves as a sample of what I am currently building, learning and thinking about.

// experience

Machine Learning Engineer
Zodhya
  • As a founding ML engineer, I architected and implemented deep learning solutions that expanded product capabilities from small retail spaces to large-scale commercial buildings and airports.
  • Designed and deployed ML systems handling 100+ real-time sensor inputs per minute across multiple HVAC zones, achieving 30% reduction in energy consumption, ~250,000 electricity units annually.
  • Built internal deep learning toolkit from scratchusing PyTorch and OpenAI Gym that reduced experiment cycle time from weeks to days and standardized training across the team.
  • Built an RAG-based assistant reducing manual report generation times by 80%. Used LLMs, FAISS and semantic memory techniques to enable contextual retrieval from energy logs and documentation
Machine Learning Engineer
Consultant
  • Developed a novel NLP-based sequence matching system for analyzing urban mobility patterns across 6500+ individuals, achieving 92% accuracy in predicting daily activity patterns.
  • Engineered features incorporating socio-economic factors, spatial data, and temporal patterns to optimize urban mobility predictions for a major Indian city simulation project.

Bazaz Dysphagia Prediction
  • Research project with Weill Cornell Medicine for predicting new Onset Dysphagia post-ARS. Built a novel risk-scoring model to predict the presence of dysphagia with 83% sensitivity.
  • Podium at the 2025 ACS Clinical Congress, 2025.
LLM Learning Assistant - NKR Framework
  • RAG-based learning tool applying Feynman Technique + Bloom's Taxonomy for adaptive question generation and spaced repetition to increase retention and make learning interactive. Built pipelines using vision transformers to parse unstructured data that provide context to LLMs
