Abhishikta Panja — Lead ML Engineer
I work on one of the core challenges in agentic AI — making multi-agent systems reliable, measurable, and trustworthy. At Qualcomm, I lead the development of enterprise-scale GenAI systems end-to-end, from identifying the problem and designing the architecture to deploying and iterating with real users. My work focuses on harness and context engineering, not just using stronger models, but designing the right scaffolding, memory, and control loops to consistently unlock their capabilities. I build evaluation frameworks help us understand how these systems behave, where they fail, and how to make them more consistent beyond controlled demos. I’m especially interested in challenges like long-horizon reasoning, coordinating multiple agents, and evaluating systems that don’t have a single “right” answer. Ultimately, I want to build AI systems that learn from feedback and improve over time, becoming more dependable, adaptive, and grounded in real-world use.
