Senior🎓
Top SchoolHrishikesh Vaidya is a Senior Software Engineer with 9 years of experience building scalable cloud and ML systems, currently contributing to Google Cloud’s Knowledge Catalog. He combines a Columbia MS in Computer Science (Machine Learning specialization) and hands-on experience from startups like Cerebras—where he implemented C++ primitives for model-parallel neural network layers—to large-scale production work at Pinterest and Google. His background spans distributed systems, large batch ETL with Spark, and ML infrastructure for efficient training and inference, with a proven record of shipping performance-sensitive, distributed code. Based in Sunnyvale, he pairs algorithmic problem-solving (active in coding contests) with applied ML coursework in NLP, deep learning, and probabilistic modeling, making him adept at bridging research ideas and production engineering. An understated strength is his experience designing libraries and pipelines that scale across both academic and cloud-provider environments.
