Misrab Faizullah Khan is a founder and engineering leader with 12 years of experience building data-driven, cloud-native platforms and scaling teams to enterprise impact. He led GetGround’s engineering and data efforts—designing a Golang microservice backend on GCP, React frontends, and dbt/Python pipelines—helping the company scale to 100+ people and manage billions in property value. Previously he ran data science at Gojek/GoTo Group, growing a 30+ person distributed team and shipping high-throughput systems for surge pricing, allocation, and recommendations at unicorn scale. His background spans optimisation and experimentation work at TripAdvisor and Stanford, and he has concrete open-source contributions to cvxpy demonstrating applied convex optimisation techniques for QCQP, sensitivity analysis and mixed-integer problems. Comfortable shifting between hands-on engineering, product strategy, and team building, he pairs strong academic training in AI and CS from Stanford with practical experience shipping production ML and data infrastructure. A less obvious thread through his career is a pattern of translating advanced optimisation research into production systems that drive measurable revenue and operational scale.
