DEEPALI
BALAKRISHNA KSHEERSAGAR

AI/ML engineer building systems that work in the real world. LLM pipelines, multi-agent architectures, NLP at scale. Research to production.

Deepali Balakrishna Ksheersagar

I'm a Data Science graduate from NYU (May 2026) with 3+ years across ML engineering, NLP research, and data engineering. My work spans LLMs, agentic AI, healthcare applications, and production ML pipelines. I care about the full journey from messy data to something deployed and reliable.

Previously a Machine Learning Engineer at CGI for 2 years, building NER pipelines on 2M+ documents for a Fortune 500 telecom client. Also at The Global Consortium of Nursing & Midwifery Studies (multilingual NLP across 40+ languages) and Accenture (data engineering). Most recently research at NYU Rory Meyers applying BERT and statistical modeling to global healthcare data.

Outside work, I'm a Women in Data Science Ambassador (2026) and enjoy the intersection of AI with healthcare, building systems that reduce friction in clinical workflows and improve patient outcomes. When I'm not coding, I love painting, reading, and gardening — you can find my art on Instagram ↗.
