Summary
Abhinav Girish is a CTO and backend-focused software engineer with a decade of experience building distributed systems, ML-enabled tooling, and data-driven platforms across finance and healthcare. He combines hands-on engineering—spanning Python, Java/Spring, Flask, PyTorch and cloud-integrated services—with product delivery experience from internships to production work at banks like Bank of America and Societe Générale. His recent research at Cornell Tech on partitioned DNNs for heterogeneous hardware informs practical optimizations for distributed inference and training in real-world systems. He has a proven track record of reducing operational friction and cycle times (e.g., halving submission time for equity derivative workflows and cutting KPI report generation by 95%). Based in New Jersey, he bridges rigorous academic training from Cornell and Carnegie Mellon with startup leadership as Fig Medical’s CTO. He’s motivated by algorithmic thinking and applies that curiosity to turn complex, latency-sensitive problems into reliable, maintainable solutions.
