Summary
Aneesh Panoli is a Ph.D.-trained technologist and entrepreneur with nine years of experience building full-stack data products and platforms from research-grade code to production. As Co-Founder and CTO of a San Francisco stealth startup and former CTO of CivicTechHub, he designs end-to-end systems—databases, authentication, backends, and React frontends—while shaping data strategies to drive user engagement. His background spans molecular genetics and genomics research to applied machine learning, including publishing work on SARS-CoV-2 sequence feature spaces and building NLP pipelines and XGBoost models for clinical text. He has founded a games studio, launched mobile titles with real-time matchmaking and in-app analytics, and built automated trading systems that executed multi-million-dollar annual volume, demonstrating a rare blend of product intuition, data science, and low-level engineering. Comfortable in Python, C#, Objective-C and modern web stacks, Aneesh pairs rigorous experimental thinking from academia with hands-on product shipping. He often translates biological insight into computational features—a distinguishing thread that drives his cross-domain innovation.
