About Saikumar Dandla
I\'m SAIKUMAR DANDLA, Data Scientist 2 at Amazon with 7 years of experience building production ML systems that impact millions of customers across 10+ global marketplaces. I specialize in Large Language Models, Natural Language Processing, Computer Vision, and Recommendation Systems—architecting enterprise-scale AI solutions that deliver measurable business impact. At Amazon, I\'ve led development of catalog quality evaluation platforms achieving 94% accuracy, Gen AI-powered product creation assistants reducing processing time by 60%, and recommendation systems with 99.2% precision deployed across multiple marketplaces. My work spans the full ML lifecycle from research to production deployment at scale with 99.9% availability.Technical Expertise: AWS Bedrock • Claude 3.5 Sonnet • PyTorch • TensorFlow • Transformers • BERT • RAG Architecture • Prompt Engineering • Fine-tuning (LoRA) • Computer Vision • Docker • Kubernetes • AWS SageMaker • Python • SQL • PySpark • MLOps • CI/CD. I\'ve won 2x Amazon Worldwide Hackathons (2023, 2024), ranked Top 1% in global ML competitions, and hold certifications from UC Berkeley (LLM Agents MOOC), Stanford (ML - 97%), and DeepLearning.AI (TensorFlow Developer).Beyond building AI systems, I\'m passionate about knowledge sharing and mentorship. I\'ve trained 500+ students through guest lectures at NIT Warangal, IIT Madras, and SRM University, conducted Gen AI workshops at CBIT Hyderabad for 150+ students, and mentored 5+ junior data scientists on ML best practices. I believe the best AI solutions emerge when cutting-edge research meets real-world business constraints. Let\'s connect if you\'re working on LLM applications, production ML at scale, recommendation systems, or e-commerce AI—I\'m particularly interested in discussing prompt engineering strategies, RAG architectures, and MLOps best practices.
