Thilakraj Sripal

ML / GenAI Engineer · LLM Evaluation & Benchmarking

Embedded on Google Kaggle Benchmarks · Bengaluru, IN


About

I'm an ML/GenAI engineer focused on LLM evaluation, benchmarking, and the reasoning systems that sit on top of them. Six years in production ML/SWE, with the last 27 months embedded on the Google Kaggle Benchmarks team.

  • Day job — Benchmark engineer on kaggle.com/benchmarks. Ported and validated 10+ peer-reviewed LLM benchmarks (MMLU, GPQA, FACTS, Global-MMLU-Lite, others) against published reference scores; cited contributor on the ICML 2025 Experts Benchmark; first internal consumer of the kaggle-benchmarks Python SDK.
  • Building on the sideask-my-notes, an end-to-end RAG service (FastAPI · Voyage embeddings · FAISS · Anthropic Claude). Shipped with a full cost ledger and a documented prompt-caching dead-end — receipts in the README.
  • Background — MSc Artificial Intelligence, Distinction, Royal Holloway, University of London.

Shipping a new GenAI project every few weeks. Open to conversations on LLM eval, agentic systems, and applied RAG.

    This is `ask-my-notes` — a working RAG system I built end-to-end to learn the modern GenAI stack. You point it at a folder of markdown notes and `POST /ask` returns a Claude-generated answer ground…
