hi, my name is

abhijith c.

staff ml engineer building large-scale personalization systems & ml platforms

at target, i drive architecture and standardization of ml systems — core personalization and decisioning systems like next best action (nba) and org-wide mlops convergence efforts. my work involves aligning teams on scalable patterns for building, deploying, and operating ml systems on gcp.

previously, i built real-time recommendation systems at inmobi/glance serving 100m+ users, spanning ranking, bandits, and low-latency serving systems.

i'm particularly interested in how ml systems evolve from individual solutions into shared platforms — enabling teams to move faster while maintaining reliability and consistency.

beyond work

minimalist. "simple, yet sophisticated" — according to a colleague and a friend.
