Applied Research Scientist / Amazon

Harsha Aduri

I lead science and architecture across Seller Experience and Seller Agentic Intelligence.

My work spans multi-agent systems, LLM tool use, model post-training, RAG, and multimodal experiences. Outside work, I build research tools and an occasionally over-engineered home lab.

01 / Selected impact

Research translated into working systems

Selected examples of applied research carried through architecture, production, and measurable outcomes.

SELLER EXPERIENCE

Amazon Seller Assistant

Defined the science roadmap and designed the core multi-agent architecture behind Amazon's seller-facing assistant, launched at Accelerate 2024.

SCIENCE ROADMAP / MULTI-AGENT SYSTEMS
AGENTIC TOOL USE

Text2API

Built an agent that selects and executes more than 50 APIs with 96% accuracy, before native LLM tool calling became standard.

50+ APIS / 96% ACCURACY
GENERATIVE UI

Canvas

Designed the code-generation architecture behind a multimodal Seller Assistant experience that turns conversations into dynamic, personalized visual workspaces for exploring business data and taking action.

MULTIMODAL / CODE GENERATION
PRODUCTION ML

Production impact

Delivered more than $200M in operational savings across ML automation initiatives and large-scale decision systems.

$200M+ OPERATIONAL SAVINGS
02 / Selected work

Research that reaches the real world

I work across research, engineering, and product constraints, with an emphasis on systems that remain useful after the demo.

Paper Radar

An AI-curated feed for keeping up with ML research. It discovers candidate papers, ranks them against my research interests, classifies topics, and publishes concise analyses.

  • Seed- and query-based discovery across active ML research areas
  • Heuristic filtering plus Claude-assisted relevance ranking
  • Topic classification and abstract-grounded analysis
  • Static publishing for a fast, searchable reading queue
CURATION PIPELINE ACTIVE

What has my attention

AT WORK Seller Experience and Seller Agentic Intelligence

Applied research across language, reasoning, agents, and human-centered seller experiences.

IN RESEARCH Agents and multimodal models

Tracking how better context, tools, and evaluation change what models can reliably do.

IN THE LAB Physical systems and home infrastructure

3D printing, PC thermals, and home automation. A suspicious amount of this is about airflow.
