Julian Sanker is a Founding Engineer and Software Engineer II who combines nine years of experience building large-scale data systems and AI pipelines with a Yale CS degree. He designs production-ready integrations and cost-conscious Graph RAG architectures—most recently enabling tariff intelligence and automated CBP ACE filings at TariffNinja while optimizing LLM token usage for multi-tenant workflows. At Walmart Global Tech he fused Splunk-derived store telemetry with concurrent AI agents to detect and automatically prune obsolete feature flags, directly reducing technical debt during a nationwide system modernization. His background spans computational biology research using graph neural nets and topological analysis, SEC data analysis, and IP commercialization, showing a pattern of translating research methods into reliable engineering. Based in Bentonville, he thrives on problems at the research–production boundary and is notable for mentoring engineers in AI-assisted development and pragmatic cost engineering.
