Parag Mandal

Staff Engineer

I build systems that make data less chaotic and AI slightly less confused. My work lives at the intersection of RAG, NLP, and distributed pipelines—where things either scale beautifully or fail spectacularly. Currently leveling up in ML at Georgia Tech while trying not to overfit my own expectations. I care about performance, clean abstractions, and solving problems that actually matter. Bonus points if it runs fast and breaks rarely.
