Kumar Kartikay

Software Engineer at Google, exploring ML research in my free time.

I'm a software engineer at Google in Bangalore, working on large scale ML-powered data pipelines that help us improve Search Quality. Outside work I dig into machine learning research, most recently at the Lossfunk residency (batch 8), where I explored tree-search-guided LLM reasoning.

I like building things end to end, from distributed log pipelines to small reinforcement-learning engines, and I keep a few of them running in the wild.

Now

Wrapping up the Lossfunk residency this week, building tree-search methods for LLM reasoning.
