Summary
Nirvan Theethira is a software engineer in San Diego with eight years of experience building ML-driven features for web applications, currently contributing to Esri’s Business Analyst team. He holds an MS in Computer Science (ML/AI) from CU Boulder and a BS in Computer Engineering, giving him both embedded-systems roots and modern ML expertise. At Esri he trains and deploys models, implements semantic search and in-app AI assistants using fine-tuned transformers, and bridges Java production code with Python model pipelines and CI/CD. Past roles span startups and large corporations—implementing Spark-Kubernetes pipelines, NLP vectorization, recommender systems, and LTE profiling—so he’s comfortable across distributed data systems and low-level optimization. Known for turning research-grade models into production features, he combines practical engineering with a curiosity for applied AI that improves user onboarding and data discoverability.
