Hello, I'm Prasoon
I build practical machine learning systems that survive contact with reality.
About
I work on the parts of machine learning that have to work when the paper ends: turning messy, shifting data and ambiguous goals into well-posed problems, robust pipelines, and models that actually get used.
My experience spans experimentation, causal inference, and production ML systems: defining metrics, designing experiments, building features, and partnering with engineers and stakeholders to ship data products that move the right numbers, not just the easy ones.
I care about clarity: clear problem statements, clear interfaces between models and product, and clear communication with non-technical partners. This site is intentionally minimal – a small set of projects that show how I think, not an exhaustive catalog.
Experience
-
Leading applied ML work for user-facing products: defining problem statements, designing experiments, and taking models from notebook to production in close partnership with engineering.
-
Owning metrics, experimentation, and causal analysis for core product surfaces, helping teams choose sensible metrics and avoid being misled by noisy data.
-
Working on ML and statistics-heavy projects with faculty and peers, focusing on reproducible analysis, careful evaluation, and clear write-ups.
Selected projects
A few applied ML projects from the last few years. Happy to share deeper write-ups, notebooks, or code samples on request.

Designing experiments you can actually believe
Lessons from running experiments in messy products: guardrails, pre-registration, and why celebrated uplift often misleads.

The quiet parts of an ML system
Feature stores, data contracts, monitoring, and the unglamorous pieces that decide whether a model survives in production.

Contact
For roles, collaborations, or interesting ML problems, email is best. A short note about the problem space, your data, and how success is measured is especially helpful.
Elsewhere: feel free to connect via GitHub, arXiv, or LinkedIn if you prefer. I'm always happy to talk about evaluation, experiment design, or making ML systems a little more honest.
