Jyothish Soman is an engineering leader and PhD-trained computer scientist with 13 years of experience building scalable ML, knowledge-graph and distributed systems across academia and industry. Currently an Engineering Manager at BenchSci, he has previously led engineering and ML platforms as VP/Director at startups where he architected multi-cloud Kubernetes platforms, MLOps, and data backbones that enabled companies to scale compute from tens to hundreds of nodes. His work blends deep graph-theory and high-performance analytics expertise—originating in Cambridge research and GPU-accelerated graph algorithms—with hands-on product delivery, including a production knowledge graph at ComplyAdvantage and successful drug-target ML projects at Relation Therapeutics. A pragmatic engineer who still ships code (and points users to better-maintained graph implementations like Gunrock), he balances technical depth with vendor and cross-functional leadership. Based in Cambridge, UK, he brings rare continuity from low-level research to production-grade systems and team scale-up.
