I (Prasad Chalasani) am an independent ML researcher and consultant. I have a BTech/CS from IIT, and a PhD/ML from CMU. I have nearly 3 decades of experience working at Los Alamos, ASU, Goldman Sachs, Yahoo and MediaMath in a variety of quant-research roles, most recently heading up ML teams.
I have publications and expertise in the areas of combinatorial optimization, adversarial learning, transformer models for event-sequences,  deep reinforcement learning, and LLMs.

I am the lead architect and developer of Langroid, an inuitive, lightweight, open-source Python framework for building LLM applications using Multi-Agent Programming.

Your sponsorship will help support me, hire developers and dev-rel folks, expand documentation/tutorials, and sponsor hackathons to accelerate Langroid's development and community-building efforts.
