Hi, I’m Anand, a Machine Learning Engineer at Mercari, working on large-scale production ML systems powering Trust & Safety, intelligent moderation, and marketplace integrity. My work spans a broad spectrum of modern machine learning, including: • Classical Machine Learning for risk detection & user safety • Multimodal AI across text, image, and behavioral signals • Embedding Models & Semantic Retrieval Systems • CNNs and Transformer-based Deep Learning architectures • Ranking / Similarity / Representation Learning • LLMs, RAG pipelines, and GenAI integrations • End-to-End MLOps deployment in production I actively work on designing ML systems that move beyond experimentation and solve real business-critical problems at scale, from fraud detection and content moderation to semantic understanding and intelligent automation. Being an IIT Bombay graduate and an industry practitioner, I understand both: → what it takes to crack strong ML/AI roles, and → what skills are actually required to perform inside top product companies. Through Topmate, I help aspiring ML Engineers, Applied Scientists, and AI enthusiasts with: ✅ ML/AI Career Guidance ✅ Mock Interviews (ML / Data Science / LLM Roles) ✅ Resume + LinkedIn Reviews ✅ Production ML System Design Discussions ✅ Real-world Project Guidance ✅ Transitioning into Applied AI/ML roles My mentorship is practical, industry-focused, and designed to help you bridge the gap between learning machine learning and becoming an ML Engineer companies want to hire. Let’s accelerate your AI journey 🚀
