Technical Program Manager · ML Research Engineer · London

hi, i'm sriya

I build intelligent systems that actually ship.
From prototype to production, with craft at every step.

01 — about me

engineer, researcher,
relentless builder

I'm an AI Delivery Lead and ML Research Engineer with 7+ years delivering real-world AI systems in safety-critical environments. Most recently at Jaguar Land Rover, where I led teams, shipped production perception systems, and owned the full arc from discovery through deployment.

I'm now stepping into the intersection of AI strategy and cross-functional product delivery — bringing both the technical depth and the stakeholder instincts to move fast without breaking things.

I'm Indian Bengali, grew up between worlds, and I think that's made me comfortable with ambiguity — in data and in life. I believe the best AI is built by people who are genuinely curious about the humans it affects.

05 — beyond work

a few other obsessions

🪨

Sculpture

Polymer clay, chiaroscuro, deconstruction. I make things with my hands to stay sane between keyboards.

✍🏽

Journaling

Structured thinking is a craft. I use frameworks, mind maps, and daily writing to process and plan.

⚡

Building

Side hustles, businesses, tools. Storage concepts, analytics platforms — the itch to build never turns off.

🌿

Design

Not just how things look — how they feel. I care about the UX of everything from products to conversations.
