Varun Jadia is a Senior Forward Deployed Engineer with nine years of experience building customer-facing ML and data-driven products, currently scaling Rippling’s FDE function as its fourth hire. A UC Berkeley Economics and Computer Science graduate, he has combined research (BAIR work on wellbeing in LLM embeddings) with hands-on engineering at C3 AI and Raymond James to ship production ML systems that saved hundreds of hours and materially improved model precision. He focuses on full-stack solutions for enterprise ML—deploy, observe, and integrate AI agents into customer workflows—and has rotated through machine learning engineering roles that bridge research and ops. Comfortable across NLP, classical ML, and optimization, Varun brings a track record of turning research insights and large-scale data (billions of rows) into practical, customer-impacting software.
