🚀 Senior ML Engineer at Prudential Financial
Cornell Tech & IIIT Hyderabad Alumni • Building the Future with AI
🚀 Hi, I'm Keshavan — a builder, researcher, and entrepreneur at heart.
I'm currently a Senior Machine Learning Engineer at Prudential Financial, where I focus on building ML platforms and generative AI solutions to drive innovation in financial and insurance services. My work spans LLM-powered agents, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), ML frameworks, and AI infrastructure — helping teams deploy AI products that are scalable, secure, and business-ready.
Before Prudential, I founded two startups: Synergii, an AI-driven platform that helps entrepreneurs and SMBs find funding opportunities — from grants to venture capital, and another venture focused on AI solutions. I took Synergii from zero to a live product, running semantic search, RAG pipelines, and full-stack development end-to-end whilst deploying on AWS.
I hold a Master's in Computer Science from Cornell Tech, and dual degrees (Bachelor's + Master's) from IIIT Hyderabad. My research background includes computational biology (GPCR activation mechanisms, molecular dynamics), molecular ML models for drug discovery, and contributions to open-source projects like 3Dmol.js through Google Summer of Code. I've published in the Journal of Chemical Education and presented research on allosteric communication in proteins.
My interests lie at the intersection of AI research and product-building, especially in LLMs, agents, autonomous systems, and AI for finance. I'm passionate about building AI agents that can understand, reason, and act in complex environments.
