Nijanthan Hariharan is a seasoned backend engineer and startup founder with nine years of experience building large-scale, reliable communication systems and networks. Currently a Staff Software Engineer in San Francisco, he led Uber’s Communications Platform that delivers over a billion messages daily and designed a microservice that materially improved delivery rates while cutting tens of millions in costs. Earlier he scaled Exotel’s platform to handle billions of calls annually and as CTO/co‑founder of Jaze Networks shipped three commercial networking products deployed across 550+ locations. Equally comfortable in hands-on system design and cross-functional leadership, he blends deep telecom/voice expertise with a recent, active focus on practical AI experimentation.
