Jinank Thakker
AI Solutions @ Hyatt · Generative AI, Agentic Workflows & RAG
AI Solutions Specialist at Hyatt with 12+ years of software engineering experience, focused on enterprise generative AI, agentic workflows, RAG, and production ML systems. MS in Data Science & Analytics from SUNY Polytechnic Institute (3.97 GPA, Machine Learning specialization).
At Hyatt, I design, build, test, and deploy practical generative AI solutions for hotel operations and colleague productivity using OpenAI, ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, Python, RAG, and automation. I translate operational requirements into secure, scalable systems with grounded responses, human review, access controls, and auditability.
Previously, at SUNY Poly, I built LLM-based NLP pipelines for Russell 3000 earnings-call research. At Rethinksoft, I engineered an ML prediction system that drove $0 → $1M MRR for a Dubai-based client. Earlier, as a founding engineer at Orderhive, I helped scale the platform to 1,500+ merchants before its $45M acquisition by Cin7.
Comfortable across the full stack - Python, TypeScript, REST APIs, SQL, and modern LLM tooling. Strongest where production reliability meets applied ML.
