Vancouver, Canada

Hello, I’m Anmol.

Engineering leader building ML platforms and the teams behind them.

I work in engineering and machine learning. This is a small place to keep the longer version of my story, along with writing and research that I would like to remain easy to find.

What I do now

I lead teams that bring new AI products from an early idea into the world.

I lead ML Workflows at Weights & Biases, now part of CoreWeave. My work sits at the intersection of engineering leadership, ML infrastructure, developer experience, and product strategy. I stay close to the technical details, but I also spend a great deal of time building the teams and operating structures that let a product grow up well.

In the last few years, that has meant taking Registry from a proof of concept to general availability, helping build and launch the first W&B mobile app at NVIDIA GTC, and now working with the CoreWeave platform team to bring CoreWeave Sandboxes from private preview toward general availability.

The short version of my career is that I started in traditional machine learning, moved deeply into deep learning and GAN-based generative AI research, then learned how much work it takes to turn technical capability into a product people can trust. I now work on the systems and teams behind that process.

The longer story

I have spent my career trying to make difficult technology useful.

I did not start out with a grand plan to work on AI platforms or manage engineering teams. I was interested in computer science, then machine learning, and then in the problems that became visible when you tried to put a model in front of a real person. The work grew from there.

2012–2019

Learning through research

I studied Information Technology in Jalandhar before moving to Vancouver for an MSc in Computing Science at Simon Fraser University. My earliest work was in what we would now call traditional machine learning, before deep learning became the centre of my work. During graduate school, I worked in machine learning and medical imaging, including research with the Medical Image Analysis Laboratory and Vancouver General Hospital.

It was a formative time. Medical imaging is a good place to learn that accuracy, robustness, and reproducibility are not decorative ideas. They matter because the work is connected to people and decisions that deserve care.

As deep learning changed the field, generative AI became my main graduate research focus. I worked with generative adversarial networks to synthesise missing MRI pulse sequences, alongside work in microscopy. I spent a lot of time learning the unglamorous parts of research: reading carefully, writing clearly, running the same experiment again when it matters, and understanding the limits of a result.

2016–2023

Taking machine learning into products

Alongside and after research, I worked on applied machine-learning problems in health, imaging, video, and language. I learned quickly that a working model is only the beginning. A useful product also needs good product judgment, reliability, a realistic view of its users, and a team that can make decisions when the path is not obvious.

At Xtract AI, then part of Patriot One, I spent an important chapter of my career in the defence and security world. We were building AI-enabled products across video processing and natural language processing, in a domain where the consequences of getting the details wrong were tangible. I grew from Senior Machine Learning Engineer to Engineering Manager and then Director of Engineering.

At BenchSci, I led work around machine learning and NLP for scientific discovery. These were the years when I began to care as much about the conditions that help people do good work as I did about the technology itself.

2023–now

Working on the platform layer

Today I lead ML Workflows at Weights & Biases, now part of CoreWeave. A large part of my work has been bringing greenfield products to life, staying close to the technology while helping the company build the teams and operating shape needed to support them.

Registry was one of those stories. I helped take it from a proof of concept to general availability, and it is now used by some of our largest customers, including Pinterest, Dropbox, and Canva. I then helped build the first version of the W&B mobile app, hired the team around it, and launched it at NVIDIA GTC.

My current focus is CoreWeave Sandboxes. I am working alongside the CoreWeave platform team to take the product from private preview through general availability, while scaling the organization to support the expanding product surface area. The work spans secure execution for AI workloads, developer workflows, compute orchestration, automation, and product experience.

I still like being close to the technical details, but I am increasingly interested in the organizational work too: helping people make good decisions, turning ambiguity into direction, and building teams that can be trusted with meaningful problems. I think the next generation of AI products will be defined as much by the quality of their infrastructure and user experience as by the models behind them. That is the part of the work I am most excited about.

Writing

Things I am thinking about.

I write about building AI products and platforms, technical leadership, and the less visible work required to make ambitious systems useful. New essays will live on Substack. This page will remain a simple index of the pieces I want to keep close.

For now, you can find me on LinkedIn.

Outside work

A few other things.

Outside work, I enjoy Formula 1, GT3 and IMSA racing, sim racing, vegetarian food, mechanical watches, hiking, strength training, and volleyball. I am also trying to become a more attentive reader and a better writer.
