Summary
Arka Mitra is a product-minded engineer and co-founder with 8 years of experience building scalable AI systems, from language models and retrieval pipelines to explainable healthcare diagnostics. He holds a Master's from ETH Zurich in ML and Signal Processing and a B.Tech from IIT Kharagpur, and has blended academic research with industry impact at Microsoft, Mila, and startups. At Telepathy Labs he cut LLM response latency 4× and raised production test coverage for services serving 10,000+ users, demonstrating fast iteration from research prototypes to reliable deployments. His work spans PyTorch, LangChain, and production infra, with a particular interest in agentic systems, LLM infrastructure, and applied research. Based in Zurich, he combines quantitative rigor from roles in finance and research with hands-on product engineering—often optimizing end-to-end systems rather than just models.
