Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolTenzin Wangdhen is a CTO and co-founder with a decade of experience building and scaling data-intensive infrastructure and AI-driven products from the ground up. He led migrations and platform initiatives at Iterable that scaled Elasticsearch and event streaming to multi-petabyte, high-throughput systems and cut critical incidents via SRE best practices. As a tiger-team lead on AI agents and Nova AI work, he blends experimentation (RAG, GPT-generated templates) with product-focused reliability to ensure automation actually reduces churn. He builds pragmatic developer tooling and automation—think Kubernetes Jobs frameworks and self-hosted CockroachDB—to move teams off ad-hoc workflows into secure, repeatable operations. Now at Zot he’s focused on ensuring agents create value for customers rather than drive them away, a practical lens that reflects both engineering depth and product empathy. Based in San Francisco, he’s the kind of late-night tinkerer who turns curiosities into production-safe systems.
