My name is Hardik Patel.

I lead recommendation and conversational projects at Youtube Music. Specifically, I work on:

1. Ranking/retrieval improvements that usually go unnoticed by most users.
2. LLM-based applications. Press and user reports from a recent example:
   • TechCrunch
   • 9to5google
   • TechRadar
   • Make Use Of
   • Reddit Post 1, Reddit Post 2, Reddit Post 3

I received my BS and MS in Computer Science from IIT Kanpur in 2012. I spent about 1.5 years working for Microsoft after that. I left Microsoft to spend the next 2 years in High Frequency Trading. I worked at qplum from August 2015 to Feb 2019.
