Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJai Radhakrishnan is a Senior Software Engineer based in San Francisco with six years of experience building scalable backend systems, distributed databases, and developer tooling. He has shipped production features at AWS and architected persistent vector indexing and graph-integrated search at Dgraph, then moved on to design embedded databases, serverless auth, and WASM sandboxes at Hypermode. More recently he contributed backend refactors to the popular open-source Chroma embedding database, standardizing Google embedding integrations and improving schema validation and stability. Jai blends systems-level engineering with practical productization—designing one-click integrations, CLIs, and AIOps pipelines that make ML workflows consumable. He’s equally comfortable diving into low-level storage/indexing problems and shipping developer-facing integrations, and often focuses on durable, auditable systems rather than ad-hoc prototypes.
