Akshara Rathod Bhukya — AI Researcher
Patterns catch my eye, from sudoku grids to rows of unstructured data. That instinct to understand how things fit together has shaped my journey, from business intelligence to a master’s program in machine learning, and most recently, hands-on work in GenAI engineering. I work across the AI/ML stack, with a strong foundation in Python, machine learning algorithms, and NLP, and hands-on experience building production RAG systems. Most recently at KGS Technology Group, I architected a context-aware RAG chatbot that dramatically cut employee search time and became a core part of how the team accesses information. Before that, at Reality AI Lab, I built retrieval and GenAI features for Marvel AI, an LLM-powered teaching assistant, improving both retrieval quality and response latency at scale. Earlier in my career as a Business Intelligence Analyst, I turned fragmented supply chain data into dashboards that helped teams make faster, better decisions. That foundation in making data useful, not just accurate, still drives how I approach every system I build. I hold an Master's degree in Machine Learning from Stevens Institute of Technology and was honored with the Outstanding Course Assistant Award for supporting 250+ graduate students in Mathematical Foundations of ML. Whether the problem calls for a fine-tuned model, a retrieval pipeline, or a clean data insight, I am drawn to the full arc from understanding a messy problem to shipping something that holds up in production. Open to AI/ML engineering, GenAI, and data roles. Feel free to reach out, always open to a good conversation.
