Summary
Taruni Paleru is a product manager with 8 years of experience building data-driven infrastructure and machine learning products, currently focused on bringing real-time gaming-grade orchestration to AI workloads. As Hathora’s first PM she helped expand the platform from live game servers into CI pipelines and now leads efforts to host ML models on an Elastic Metal architecture that cuts compute and bandwidth costs dramatically. Her background at AWS EC2 capacity planning and prior NLP/data science roles gives her a rare blend of supply-chain scale insights, model training experience, and product rigor. She moves quickly from problem framing to shipping, partnering with early design customers to guarantee measurable cost and performance wins versus hyperscalers. Based in New York, she combines statistical and CS training from UIUC with hands-on engineering fluency to bridge teams across data, infrastructure, and product. An underappreciated strength is her track record of turning internal tooling and analytics into customer-facing pilots that unlock new revenue streams.
