🎓
Top School
Dheeraj Thankachan is a product-focused Core ML leader and entrepreneur with 10 years of experience building ML-driven products and distributed systems across startups and large tech firms. Currently leading Core ML from 0→1 and activation at Planday, he has a track record of shipping zero-to-one products—most notably scaling Memix to #1 in the US App Store and founding a VC-backed grocery startup that built custom LLMs for supermarket integrations. He blends research pedigree from Oxford and DeepMind with hands-on product and engineering roles at TikTok, Amazon and Tesla, tackling recommendations, ads, inference and safety for high-throughput systems. An active angel investor in deeptech and ML (early bets include Monzo and Cohere), he evaluates technical due diligence and commercialization potential for frontier startups. Beyond product strategy and ML, he contributes to open-source learning by experimenting across languages (Go, C++, Python, R) and enjoys translating research ideas into production-grade ETL and LLM pipelines.
