Top SchoolOlsen Budanur is a software engineer with 5 years of experience building scalable ML and orchestration infrastructure, currently a Member of Technical Staff at xAI after roles at Affirm and Aptos. He specializes in workflow orchestration, distributed systems, and ML infra—having managed pipelines with Airflow, Temporal, Spark, and Kubernetes that handled millions of monthly actions and cut ETL costs by 80%. Olsen pairs systems-building (high-performance gRPC services in Kotlin, Rust SDKs, autoscaling with KEDA) with applied LLM work, shipping practical tools like a semantic-search Slack bot and LLM eval tooling. He’s also an entrepreneurial builder who founded a contracting firm, led Hack@Davidson, and open-sourced a large Python CLI that saved substantial cloud spend. Curious and hands-on, he enjoys tackling tough infra problems and prototyping LLM-driven products in his spare time.
