Jothsna Praveena Pendyala

My professional journey has been one of transformation and growth across multiple industries. I have worked in academia, the power industry for a government enterprise, and at Amazon in e-commerce, where I developed deep expertise in machine learning. This diverse background eventually led me to transition into an AI engineer role. Currently, as a Senior Data Scientist for the past 10 months, my work focuses on building an agentic platform as a service where users can access different agents for various use cases. My day-to-day responsibilities include ensuring successful deployment to LangSmith Studio, maintaining scalable applications as needed, and integrating MCP servers into agentic workflows. I am responsible for maintaining a scalable enterprise-level agentic platform as a service. My proudest achievement has been making the leap from a remote government job in the energy domain to landing a prestigious senior role at a consulting company in the U.S. Beyond my corporate work, I am deeply involved in the AI community, serving as membership chair for the Association of Computing Machinery (ACM) Dallas chapter, and previously held the role of Vice Chair for Women in Engineers with IEEE. Every week, I organize community events where I bring speakers and audiences together to discuss emerging techniques in AI.
