Hey there 👋 I’m Esakkivel - an ML engineer and a Northeastern grad student that likes to build things that think. I started by shipping Android apps at 12 to 21.5K+ users worldwide; now I’m engineering reasoning systems beyond standard RL playbooks. Lately, I’ve built SFT and RL post-training pipelines for code search and rerankers, focusing on the path from data → training → evaluation (and the tooling around it). I’m always excited to talk about computers and AI. Love opportunities in hands-on ML and applied research that ships.
