Sam Karu is a founder-engineer and AI systems builder with a decade of experience bridging deep learning research and production inference. As Co-founder & CEO of Logical (YC F25) and formerly a lead on TensorRT custom layers at NVIDIA, he specializes in ML model optimization, graph compilers, and deployment tooling for high-performance inference. His academic work at UCLA applied generative and adversarial techniques to wireless authentication and leveraged approximate nearest neighbor methods for scalable retrieval—an uncommon crossover of RF systems and modern ML. Sam combines hands-on engineering (OSS workflows and compiler-level plugin frameworks) with product leadership in the Bay Area, shipping solutions that make AI-enabled knowledge work practical at scale.
