AMON SISOWATH / PORTFOLIO 2026

I build AI systems end to end.

From information-retrieval research to production AI architectures, rapid prototypes, and teams that ship. This is the full path behind my work.

Information Retrieval · Current

Measuring who gets retrieved.

At UC Berkeley Sky Computing Lab, I research popularity bias and long-tail failure in retrieval-augmented generation.

Hackathons · Rapid Building

Building useful systems under pressure.

Most recently, in 39 hours, our team built Market Link Network to surface hidden relationships across more than 1,000 prediction markets.

Leadership + Institution Building

From public life to technical teams.

Before leading engineers, I learned to build institutions: creating political access for students, serving locally, and taking responsibility for communities.

Entrepreneurship

Learning how ideas become leverage.

The Young Founders Network introduced me to builders creating impact beyond their immediate reach. Venture analysis and startup roles taught me how those ideas are evaluated and operated.

AI Education · Three Institutions

Learning AI across three ecosystems.

TUM established my statistics, machine-learning, and mathematical foundations; NUS deepened my applied ML practice; and Berkeley connected implementation with advanced AI systems and research.
