Rittick Barua, PhD

An engineer by training and a product owner by practice, I have spent the last seven years building enterprise machine-learning and language-model systems, owning the lifecycle of each one from problem framing and pilot design into BAU integration, governance and onward adoption, with engagements in financial services, healthcare and the public sector. I currently work on enterprise language-model platforms and on computer-vision pipelines for clinical microscopy, and previously founded a research-strategy consultancy and led an applied-science team within management consulting. My PhD is in Engineering from the University of Cambridge.
