Applied AI engineer · San Francisco
Prateek Chhikara.
I turn real-world problems into AI systems that work beyond the demo.
I’m an Applied AI Engineer at Mistral AI, working directly with clients to solve industry use cases with AI and machine learning.
Previously, I was a founding AI engineer at Mem0 and a researcher at USC’s Information Sciences Institute. I’m interested in how we make models more reliable, more perceptive, and better at remembering what matters.
