Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolKrishna Srinivasan is a software engineer and researcher with 7+ years building search, NLP, and deep learning systems across startups and major labs, including long tenures at Google (Search and Research/Machine Intelligence) and a brief stint at DeepMind. He has deep practical experience bootstrapping search engines and relevance pipelines from his early days as the second engineer at Blekko through roles at Yahoo, Apple, IBM, and Google, and now operates as an independent coder-researcher in the Bay Area. Krishna blends production-grade engineering—crawling, map-reduce/data pipelines, and performance work—with ML research and model-building for information retrieval and vision tasks. He’s comfortable moving between low-level systems and high-level models, often shipping internal tools and novel features that directly improved search quality and user experiences. Colleagues would note his combination of experimental curiosity and pragmatic delivery: he writes code to prove ideas, then scales the winning ones into products.
