Top SchoolDheeraj Pai is a founder and machine learning engineer based in San Francisco who builds infrastructure for AI-native applications, currently leading LeanMCP as CEO. With a background that spans founding startups, founding-engineer roles, and CMU teaching, he blends hands-on systems work (from MLOps and vector DB caching for edge LLMs to multi-GPU training with Deepspeed) with product-level execution. He reduced an EV routing job from 15 hours to 12 minutes and won Qualcomm’s best edge NLP solution for a FAISS-based caching strategy—signals of his focus on practical, performant ML systems. Selected as an Antler EIR for seed funding and experienced mentoring hundreds of students at CMU, he pairs deep technical chops with an ability to communicate complex ideas. Notably, his career pivots around making large-model capabilities feasible at the edge and in production, positioning him at the intersection of research, tooling, and startup scale.
