Brejesh Balakrishnan.

Building reliable ML & GenAI systems — from data to deployment.

Machine Learning Engineer

  • 1.5+ years of production engineering at Accenture — AWS-hosted REST APIs, >90% automated test coverage, high-latency responses cut from ~80% to <20%
  • Ship LLM / RAG applications: agentic LangGraph pipelines, dense retrieval (Pinecone, FAISS), retrieval evaluation (recall@k, MRR, nDCG) and faithfulness / grounding checks
  • Full MLOps in production — MLflow champion/challenger registries, Evidently drift monitoring, CI model-quality gates, Docker — with systems deployed live

01Selected work

Projects built to ship, not to demo.

End-to-end ML and data systems — trained, evaluated, deployed, and documented.

All projects

02Experience

Production engineering first.

The reliability habits — testing, profiling, code review — come from shipping enterprise software, and they carry into every ML system I build.
