Prabakaran Chandran
பிரபாகரன் சந்திரன் · Tamil Nadu → New York
I build AI systems and study why they work. Six and a half years across analytics, data science and machine learning, from control engineering to research — and a conviction, carried the whole way, that anything which can be seen as a system can be modelled, understood and acted upon.
Finishing an MS in Data Science at Columbia, working as an AI Builder at Nile, and building PrachaLabs. I write toward decision engineering: systems that keep deciding well after they ship.
Open to Applied Scientist and Research Engineer roles from December 2026.
