Summary
Vikas Kedia is a serial founder and technology leader based in Palo Alto who blends deep academic roots in compilers and strategic management with a decades-long track record of building production systems and startups. After writing a high-performance compiler at Stanford and contributing to the PADS project, he launched multiple ventures including InterNext (online finance communities), fintech firm Securities Performance Algorithms, and Healthchain, one of the earliest efforts to put personal medical records on blockchain. As co-founder and CTO of Savant Care he led a 15-engineer team to deliver an AI-driven EMR with a conversational UI, and more recently has been applying AI to HealthTech and legal tech through new startups. He is comfortable across the stack—servers, databases, networking, crypto storage (IPFS/public-key encryption), and ML-driven matching—and has operationalized high-availability infrastructure at scale. Less obvious: his career weaves academic research, low-level systems performance, and product-focused entrepreneurship, enabling him to translate complex research ideas into practical market products.
