AI Engineer | M.S. Applied Data Science @ USC | Building Production-Ready ML Systems & Autonomous Driving Solutions
I'm Aryan Maheshwari, an AI Engineer currently pursuing my M.S. in Applied Data Science at the University of Southern California, with a strong foundation from my B.Tech in Artificial Intelligence and Data Science from K.J. Somaiya Institute of Technology.
My passion lies in the intersection of machine learning, software engineering, and research. I've had the privilege of working across diverse domains: from developing ML models for autonomous vehicles at USC Autodrive Lab to building production-ready AI systems at Convexia (YC'25), and leading cross-functional teams at USC Games.
What drives me is the challenge of taking complex AI research and turning it into scalable, production-ready solutions. Whether it's engineering perception models for autonomous driving, building hybrid AI systems for sports analytics, or developing toxicity evaluation pipelines with 100% reproducibility โ I thrive on the technical depth and real-world impact.
My technical expertise spans the full ML stack: from deep learning frameworks (TensorFlow, PyTorch) and MLOps (MLflow, CUDA) to cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, Azure) and modern AI tools (LangChain, GPT-4, RAG systems). I'm particularly drawn to reinforcement learning, computer vision, and the emerging field of AI-powered decision systems.
Beyond technical skills, I believe in the power of collaboration and knowledge sharing. I've published research papers on AI evolution and blockchain-based systems, and I'm always excited to work on projects that push the boundaries of what's possible with AI.
Let's build the future of AI together.
