Michal Cierniak is a Member of Technical Staff with 11 years of experience building high-throughput, production AI systems that serve hundreds of millions of users. He designed the math solver in Google Search and led backend work on the Socratic app, later architecting multi-cloud inference and deployment infrastructure that enabled Anthropic’s Claude 4 launch. Comfortable across Python, Rust and TypeScript, he has a track record of taking projects from prototype to production, improving accuracy and performance (e.g., raising extraction F1 from 0.79 to 0.90 at Additive). Based in Palo Alto, he combines deep CS training (PhD) with hands-on systems engineering and a knack for optimizing cross-team workflows and eliminating redundant computation.
