Bala

I care about engineering and enabling others to engineer at scale.

My goal is to make AI/ML development fast, accurate & reliable with little to no friction. This includes building petabyte scale streaming platforms, microservices, hacking kubernetes manifests to writing CLI tools & making react dashboards.

Interests

• ⚙
  MLOps & Infrastructure

  Developer velocity but for ML practitioners.

• ∇
  Distributed Systems and Optimization

  One machine is never enough, am I right?

• ⊗
  Low-level Vision and Efficient Architectures

  When does it become impossible to improve certain algorithms without spamming attention on every layer?

• §
  Puzzles and Algorithms

  Pretty old school stuff, but I still enjoy solving them.
