Riaz Munshi is a senior machine learning engineer in San Francisco with 14 years building web-scale applications and production ML systems across Apple, Roku, Yahoo, and other tech teams. He specializes in multilingual NLU, knowledge-graph-backed RAG systems, robust ASR-tolerant pipelines, and scalable model training workflows that prioritize interpretability and data-efficient sampling. At Roku and Yahoo he led services that combine LLMs, graph queries, and active sampling to reduce hallucination and handle code-switching in real user data. Riaz blends deep research experience (MS in CS) and applied engineering—shipping tools for billion-item knowledge graphs and end-to-end feature engineering platforms—while valuing empathy, creativity, and thoughtful problem solving. Quietly motivated by "Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish," he often focuses on tooling and tooling ergonomics that make complex ML accessible and debuggable for product teams.
