About Shikha Saxena

Data platforms and ML systems—streaming, batch, forecasting, Multi-Agent AI. That\'s the work I\'ve been doing for 9 years, most recently at Deloitte, before that Nike and Dell EMC. I\'m hands-on with architecture and code, but I also lead teams and unblock engineers. Recently trained 34 on GenAI and RAG. Led teams up to 8. Right now I\'m building real-time pipelines with Databricks DLT and LLM evaluation frameworks with MLflow. Healthcare, fintech, retail—different domains, similar problems at scale. Based in Seattle, building systems that ship to production. More at https://shikha-protfolio-highlights.com/shikha-saxena
