About

I'm a Senior Data Scientist focused on building AI products that drive measurable business impact at scale. Currently, I'm leading the development of a GenAI-powered shopping agent at Meesho, aimed at transforming how users interact with the e-commerce platform through intelligent, personalized experiences. Over the years, I've built and deployed AI systems that operate at massive scale, handling up to 45,000 RPS in production. My work has directly contributed to the reduction of RTO, CPDO, and the increase in NMV. I've developed dynamic pricing engines, fraud detection models, customer support agents, and LatLng predictors—each designed with a focus on latency, cost, and business outcomes. I specialize in LLMs (GPT, Llama3, Mistral), Deep Learning, ML, NLP, and end-to-end ML engineering. I’m proficient in platforms like AWS SageMaker, PySpark, Dask, MLFlow, and Arize. Beyond engineering, I actively contribute to research and have published at EMNLP and other leading conferences, while also sharing tools with the open-source community. I’m passionate about solving real user problems with AI—building systems that not only work in the lab but deliver value in production. Reach out if you want to connect at: lokeshtodwal005@gmail.com
