Sarthak Jariwala is a Staff Software Engineer in San Francisco with 8 years of experience building AI-driven systems and scalable data platforms for energy and materials science companies. He designs agentic AI assistants and copilots that let technical and non-technical users query complex data, and has repeatedly delivered large performance gains—10x application speedups, 5x faster data retrieval, and dramatic reductions in query volume—by rearchitecting backends and caching layers. His background blends a PhD in Materials Science with hands-on software engineering, enabling him to bridge lab automation, IoT data ingestion, and production ML workflows across R&D and manufacturing. Notably, he has shipped developer-facing tools that cut repetitive work (saving 20+ developer-hours per format) and led front-end modernizations that reduced build times from seconds to sub-millisecond. He’s comfortable owning full stacks from Kubernetes autoscaling and InfluxDB for time-series to TypeScript component systems and conversational AI for analytics.
