Abhishek Santhanam — Product Engineer
I am currently working at EarnIn as a Machine Learning Engineer in the Payroll-ML team. I completed my master's degree in computer science with a machine learning specialization at UC San Diego in Dec 2024 where I worked on a new moisture of generative and discriminative paradigm for sequential recommendation under Prof. Julian McAuley. Prior to my masters, I worked as a research engineer at LinkedIn, where I worked in the trust data team to build content moderation defenses for the LinkedIn feed using deep learning and natural language processing techniques. I joined LinkedIn in July 2022, after completing a five-month applied scientist internship at Amazon, where I enhanced the search/query results in Amazon Music and Alexa, and helped provide information about a song in Amazon Disco, automatic podcast, using metadata derived from existing metadata. I have a bachelor's degree in computer science from the Indian Institute of Technology, Madras, where I was involved in several research projects and teaching assistant roles. I also have a strong background in statistics, natural language processing, computer vision, and neural networks, as evidenced by my multiple certifications from Coursera and my software engineering and applied scientist internship at Microsoft and Amazon. My goal is to apply my skills and knowledge to create innovative and impactful solutions for real-world problems.
