Phanindra Kalaga

I build AI/ML systems that ship. MS Data Science from GWU (3.90 GPA).

At LAiSER Lab, I led development of an open-source NLP package that processed 1M+ job descriptions for workforce analytics—work that informed policy for the Texas Workforce Commission. I achieved 7x inference throughput using vLLM on HPC clusters that cut turnaround from 2 months to 8 days.

As President of GDG On-Campus at GWU, I organized AI/ML events reaching 1,500+ developers. My medical AI project was selected for UN Open-Source Week 2025, and I’m a 2x GWU Open-Source Award winner (2025, 2026).
