About

I specialize in fast-tracking careers and technical strategies for Engineers and Executives in Modern ML and GenAI. Whether you are pivoting into the field, chasing a Senior+ level promotion, or validating a product roadmap, I provide the strategic clarity you need. Leveraging my background as a Principal Tech Lead, I provide deep technical mentorship, interview preparation, and guidance on building production-grade ML systems that deliver real-world impact. I offer fully customized mentorship plans and flexible face-time tailored to individual goals. Feel free to reach out if you are interested in a bespoke engagement.

A bit about my background: I am a Principal ML Engineer & Researcher with over 10 years of experience in the AI and ML space. I am currently driving LLM pretraining, postraining, and personalization efforts at Atlassian, and have previously led Deep Learning & GenAI-powered user personalization at late-stage conversation commerce startup (Attentive), Twitter, and Amazon. I specialize in designing low-latency, large-scale Deep Learning models and shipping them to production.

I have extensively published in NLP (Large Language Model / GenAI), Deep Learning, and Applied ML domains, accumulating over 1000 citations, and currently utilize my expertise as part of the research committee at leading AI conferences like ICML, KDD, TheWebConf, and so on. Due to my extensive contributions to ML Research, I am recognized by the US Government as one of the outstanding researchers.

I campaign for a data-centric approach to AI and have co-authored a book on the topic: Sculpting Data for ML. I am also passionate about teaching and have been working on creating online ML courses with Udacity and LinkedIn Learning. My work has been featured extensively in media, notably by TechCrunch, Times of India, The Sun, Hindustan Times, Gizmodo, NBC, and Slash Film.

In my downtime, I enjoy watching sci-fi shows, exercising, gaming, and spending time with my family. I presently live in the San Francisco Bay Area. You can find out more about me @ rishabhmisra.github.io

What mentees say

5 out of 5 stars

Mr. Rishabh is a spectacular aide when it comes to feeding curiosity while also keeping you focused on the correct path to follow. He provides adequate resources as well as advice that allows people to learn at their own pace and become mostly self-sufficient. He is a great help if you want to break into the ML space.
