Summary
Arulselvan Madhavan is a Machine Learning Engineer based in San Francisco with 11 years of software engineering experience and an MS in Computer Science from Northeastern University. He blends deep learning practice at Lightmatter with a strong engineering foundation from roles at Chartboost and Intuit, building high-performance backends and production systems. His interests span functional programming, type theory, category theory, distributed computing and ML, and he applies these theoretical lenses to practical API and systems design. Early career wins at TCS and Intuit show a knack for automation and tooling that reduced manual effort dramatically, while academic work included building research-grade web tools for crowdsourced clustering and mHealth projects. Comfortable across languages and stacks, he brings both research curiosity and production discipline to ML systems engineering. A less obvious strength is his consistent habit of translating abstract theory into pragmatic software patterns that improve reliability and performance.
