About Me

Bridging the gap between cutting-edge research and real-world deployment

Yash Rathore

AI/ML Solutions Architect

I help businesses turn complex AI ideas into working products. From computer vision to natural language processing, I specialize in building AI systems that actually work in production β€” not just in papers. My approach: prototype fast, iterate quickly, deliver results.
