Summary
Rishi Mohan is a Senior Software Engineer in San Francisco with five years of experience specializing in distributed systems and the full data lifecycle—from high-performance data pipelines and warehouses to model development, MLOps, and GenAI deployments. He’s transitioned from hands-on multimedia and operations roles at UIUC into machine learning engineering at Metaphor Data and now builds observability and telemetry solutions at Cribl, demonstrating fluency across both data engineering and production ML. Rishi thrives in high-ownership, fast-paced environments and enjoys tackling complex technical challenges that bridge infrastructure and applied ML. He holds an MS in Data Science from the University of San Francisco and a BS in Industrial Engineering from UIUC, combining rigorous analytics training with systems thinking. Outside of work he routinely prototypes side projects, pursues photography, and works on cars—habits that reflect his practical, detail-oriented approach to problem solving. Notably, his background in multimedia operations and team leadership at UIUC gives him an uncommon perspective on user-facing tooling and operational reliability.
