Hi This is

Shenoy Pratik

Software and ML Engineer

Hello World!

I'm an experienced SDE/MLE working in the software industry for past 6+ years. Currently, working at Amazon Web Services. I develop and contribute to OpenSearch-Project. My work focuses on intersection of Observability, Search and ML.


I graduated from University of Southern California in 2021, specializing in computer vision and deep learning. I was working as a research assistant at the Information Sciences Institute, towards building a DeepFake detection pipelines. My other projects involved developing an algorithm to detect images generated from GAN architectures, distinguishing between real and fake images.


Previously, I was part of SAP Labs solving object detection and recognition in the areas of retail and intelligent process automation. I have a proven history of building machine learning services including ideation, implementing architectures, training models and putting ML APIs to production.


Apart from Computer Science I love traveling, checking out new places and tasting new delicacies.
