Hi, I’m Prateek.

I build AI for
the real world.

A data science leader who still loves to build. I turn complex business problems into machine learning and generative AI products people use.

How I work

The model is
only the beginning.

I care about the full journey: the business question, the engineering, the evaluation, and what happens after launch.

Agentic AI

Orchestration, investigation workflows, and systems that reason with evidence.

LangGraph · Vertex AI · LLM-as-Judge

Production ML

Forecasting, customer intelligence, and models connected to real business decisions.

Python · Time series · Gradient boosting

Generative AI

Grounded generation, contextual search, and human review built into the workflow.

RAG · Large language models · NLP

The journey so far

Always learning.
Always building.

From business analytics to leading production AI. Each role has brought me closer to the point where data becomes a decision.

A little about me

Curious by nature.
Hands-on by choice.

I’m happiest at the intersection of a hard problem, a blank editor, and a team that cares about getting it right.

At LG, I lead the data science team and stay close to the code. My work spans classical machine learning, multi-agent systems, and generative AI—with a focus on making them reliable enough for everyday use.

That means thinking beyond model accuracy. It means benchmarking, monitoring, and working with the people who will actually use what we build.

Good things start
with a conversation.

Production ML, agentic workflows, or the gap between AI research and real products—I’m always happy to compare notes.
