Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolRaghav Tirumale is a software engineer with six years building deep tech at the intersection of systems, AI, and GPU acceleration, currently focused on infinite memory for intelligence and public safety technologies. He’s shipped full-stack features for notable open-source projects like khoj-ai—bringing UX polish, multi-file upload, OCR, and document summarization to an AI “second brain”—and has iterated rapidly across YC startups and defense-adjacent roles. His background spans embedded control for electric race cars, DSP C++ for spectrum superiority, and drone intelligence, giving him a rare end-to-end view from hardware to model inference. Curious and product-minded, he values sharp, ambitious systems over credentials and thrives on turning speculative research into pragmatic, deployable software.
