Senior🎓
Top SchoolNinaad Rao is a Software Engineer 3 based in San Jose with eight years of experience building data-driven, customer-focused products across security, travel, and social platforms. A Carnegie Mellon MS in Computational Data Science and a top-ranked B.Tech from PES University underpin his expertise in ML, NLP, big data, and cloud-native engineering. At Splunk he shipped scalable ML-ready APIs and storage optimizations that cut page loads by 80% and improved retrieval speeds, while earlier roles at Koo and Expedia delivered measurable product and engagement wins—like expanding topic coverage from 20 to 600 and driving an 85% increase in followership. He combines hands-on backend skills (Python, Spark, Scala) with production ML deployment experience and a knack for reusable API architecture adopted across teams. Outside work he enjoys informal tech conversations and racquet sports, reflecting a collaborative, curious approach that often surfaces practical improvements not obvious from specs alone.
