Dr. Raj Dandekar holds a PhD from MIT, where he worked at the intersection of machine learning and scientific computing. He has 25+ research publications at top venues and a following of over 150,000 engineers and researchers across platforms.
He is the CTO and founder of Vizuara AI Labs, where he has built and delivered workshops on LLM inference engineering, training, reinforcement learning, and edge deployment to over 500 engineers worldwide.
His students and community members come from companies including Google, Microsoft, Amazon, NVIDIA, Apple, and Anthropic.
He designed this course because he saw a massive gap: thousands of engineers know how to fine-tune models, but almost none know how to serve them efficiently at scale.
