# Aishik Rakshit on Tal

## Headline

AI Research Engineer @ AlphaSense \| RAG, LLMs & Agentic Workflows \| Kaggle Competiton Master \| Ex\-Microsoft \| IIT Guwahati

## About

I am an AI Research Engineer passionate about bridging the gap between theoretical deep learning and scalable, production\-grade systems\. Currently, I work on the RAG team at AlphaSense, building hybrid learning\-to\-rank systems, multimodal retrieval pipelines, and agentic workflows that power next\-gen search intelligence\. Previously, I was a Software Engineer at Microsoft \(Azure Container Instances\), where I optimized cloud security and orchestration at a massive scale\. My expertise lies in Mechanistic Interpretability, Bias Detection in Generative Models, and designing complex retrieval architectures using LangGraph and VESPA\. Beyond engineering, I am a Kaggle Competitions Master \(Top 0\.15% globally\) and an active researcher with work published at COLING and IEEE\. I thrive on solving hard problems—whether it’s optimizing NDCG by double digits or detecting subtle biases in text\-to\-image models\.
