Hi, I'm Rishi!

Rishi Khare

I'm a researcher and engineer fascinated by:

  • efficient natural language processing
  • reinforcement learning for LLM reasoning
  • agentic function-calling and information retrieval

These days, I'm studying computer science at Georgia Tech as a master's student, and I recently graduated from UC Berkeley with a bachelor's degree in computer science.

I've worked as an undergraduate researcher at the Berkeley AI Research (BAIR) Lab, creating LLM parsers for large-scale security logs and enabling sample-efficient prompt optimization for data-constrained reasoning tasks. I've also spent 1 year interning at T-Mobile Research, finetuning telco-RAG systems for domain adaptation and building evaluation frameworks for synthetic datasets (and filing 2 USPTO utility patents for my work). I'm interning at Amazon this summer, evaluating the autonomous multi-agent shopping framework.

Previously, I speedsolved Rubik's cubes. When I'm not pushing to git, you can find me exploring museums in SF.
