About Nirmata

Hi, I'm Rishav Kumar

I work on applied AI/ML, focusing on what actually works from prototype to production.

I write practical, first-principles analyses of post-training, inference, retrieval, agents, and deployment, grounded in my own experiments and production work—what worked, what failed, and why.
