My name is Bhavul. I'm an Applied ML Research Engineer currently working for Meta AI and leading some Generative AI initiatives, fine-tuning Large Language Models and Latent Diffusion Models to build innovative new products. Before GenAI, I was building foundational models to understand users for improving Reels and Video recommendations. Prior to Meta, I worked as a Research Scientist (ML Tech Lead) at Zapr driving company's Applied NLP Research efforts, and also their Recommendation System projects.
I like to engage in AI research independently too. I'm a core researcher with Manifold RG and I'm also experimenting with a few ideas in the LLM space. Feel free to reach out for collaboration. I also enjoy building products, automating things and so I try to maintain some grip on full stack knowledge. I'm an advocate for Open Source and "AI for Good", and enjoy giving talks at conferences or tech meetups.
Carpe Diem.
