About me
Hi, I'm Jaskaran (Karan) Walia; MS in Machine Learning at CMU and former Microsoft Research intern. I build research based AI systems that ship: LLM pipelines, graph-theory, Vision/NLP and multimodal learning for real-world impact as I care about impact, clear writing, and results that move metrics.
Outside the lab, I love networking and I also mentor & create content on AI (130,000+ Followers)
