Hi! I’m Devang, an Applied Scientist II at Amazon AWS Agentic AI in New York, with 5+ years of experience in machine learning research and engineering. My research interests include safety and red-teaming in LLMs, Agentic AI Safety, Speech Recognition (ASR), and NLP.
At Amazon, I led the development of the Bedrock Guardrails Prompt Attack defense, and contributed core science to launches such as HealthScribe and Lex, advancing summarization and ASR systems at scale. My work has resulted in 5+ publications (EMNLP, INTERSPEECH, IJCAI) and 6 patents spanning AI safety, ASR personalization, and lifelong learning.
I completed my MSc in Computer Science at McGill University & Mila Lab under Prof. Siva Reddy, where I researched question–answer generation and personalised feedback systems with Korbit AI.
