Summary
Nashir Janmohamed is a software engineer based in New York with nine years of experience building robotics, ML, and distributed systems, currently on Google’s engineering team. He blends formal CS training with a B.A. in Jazz Studies, applying the discipline of performance and improvisation to system architecture and real-time tracking problems. His internships at NASA and Google span LiDAR and launch-tracking pipelines, ROS-based pan-tilt camera control, TensorFlow model tooling, and high-throughput C++/Go microservices—demonstrating a rare mix of embedded robotics, ML, and large-scale backend engineering. A lifelong performer and educator on upright and electric bass, he has toured widely and taught outreach programs, a background that shapes his collaborative leadership and clear technical communication. Notably, he has moved ML from research into operational systems (e.g., on-board autonomy and model sharding utilities) and enjoys connecting conversations about jazz with engineering creativity.
