Rahul Bansal is a software engineer and founder with 11 years of experience building AI-driven products and developer tooling from Bengaluru. He helped modernize Cortana for Microsoft Teams—rewriting core JS into a WebAssembly-based web SDK and improving multi-tenant search—then applied those learnings to build Dictation Daddy, a medical dictation assistant that understands natural editing commands. Rahul has shipped features at enterprise scale (Bloomreach) and cut developer feedback loops as co-founder of Stormy, and contributed backend CLI enhancements to the notable livepeer/go-livepeer project. His recent research work improved Whisper accuracy for Indian languages and reduced inference latency toward real-time transcription. Equally comfortable in product, research and open-source contexts, he combines pragmatic engineering with a focus on speech AI and developer productivity.
