About me

Hi, I’m Pranav

I’m a Generative AI & ML Engineer based in Austin, TX — and I genuinely believe we’re living through the most exciting moment in the history of computing. I’ve spent the last 8+ years turning that belief into production systems that actually move needles.

Right now, I work as a Senior AI Engineer at Twin Health, where I architect multi-agent AI platforms for personalized digital health. The work hits close to home in the most literal sense: the AI systems I build — ones that ingest real-time wearable data, interpret lab results, and deliver hyper-personalized diet and nutrition guidance — have contributed to a 37% Type 2 diabetes reversal rate across our patient population. That’s not a dashboard metric. That’s people reclaiming their health.

Before Twin Health, I spent over a year at Cigna Health building Generative AI into the Prior Authorization process — a notoriously slow, paper-heavy corner of healthcare that desperately needed agentic intelligence. And before that, I spent two years at Walmart Global Tech, where I built a voice/text-driven AI tool that saved 130,000 associate work hours every single week, and a RAG-based system that cut attribute-extraction costs by 80% with 24× faster turnaround. Large-scale impact is something I’ve come to expect from this work.

My path here wasn’t strictly linear. I started as an Electrical Engineering undergraduate at IIT Roorkee, pivoted into data science at Indiana University – Bloomington (where I earned a Master’s and the Luddy Outstanding Research Award), and along the way published research at NeurIPS (Best Paper) and ACM COMPASS. More recently, I completed an MBA in Entrepreneurship from University of the Cumberlands — because building great AI isn’t just an engineering challenge, it’s a product and people challenge too.

Beyond the Work

A few things that keep me curious and grounded outside of building AI:

I’m genuinely excited about AI in legal work — the legal system is one of the most access-constrained domains in society, and intelligent automation has an enormous opportunity to level the playing field. Similarly, I think deeply about AI for social good and medical literacy: the same technology I use to build clinical tools could help millions of people understand their own health, navigate complex systems, and make better decisions.

On a lighter note — I’m a tennis player who enjoys the mental chess of the game as much as the physical workout. I’m also a dedicated barbecue enthusiast (low-and-slow is the only way), and I follow the EV space closely, fascinated by how electrification is reshaping mobility, energy, and urban design all at once.
