Senior🎓
Top SchoolAalhad Patankar is a software engineer and applied research leader with nine years of experience building cross-platform systems and AI products, currently shaping evaluation standards for advanced software engineering models at poolside. He combines product-focused engineering from Apple’s Fitness+ and startup CTO experience at Copacetic with hands-on ML/LLM production work at Cohere, where he launched a prompt tuner and enterprise auto-evaluation tooling. Aalhad has led mobile, backend and cross-device efforts—architecting real-time sync for iOS/watchOS/tvOS and a Laboratory Execution System used in drug and vaccine manufacturing—bridging rigorous engineering with domain-specific constraints. He co-founded a company that turned multimedia content into semantic search and Q&A experiences, demonstrating both product and infrastructure chops. His background spans biomedical engineering research, editorial leadership, and an MS in Computer Science from Columbia, giving him a rare mix of technical depth and communication skills. Notably, he moves fluidly between prototyping novel UX and shipping production-grade LLM tooling that solves “last-mile” deployment problems.
