At Salesforce, I began as a summer research intern delving into deep learning and now in my full-time role, I play a key role in building the pilot stage AI product ApexGuru, that leverages large language models to fix inefficient pieces of Salesforce customer implementations. Witnessing the rise of Generative AI up close, my experience here has not only honed my research skills but also offered rewarding challenges that lead to products that customers truly love.
