Summary
Vivek Haldar is a seasoned engineering leader and founder with 15 years of experience building and scaling complex systems, from Linux kernel and VM work to customer-facing AI agent platforms. He led and grew multiple teams at Google—doubling headcount, launching Android and support products, and improving fleet-wide storage efficiency—before transitioning to VP of AI Agents at Emergence and founding Enchiridion Labs. Vivek combines deep systems and compiler research (PhD focus on VMs and language-based security) with product and go-to-market experience, having shaped strategy, marketing, and customer engagements for domain-specific AI agents across pharma, semiconductors, and consulting. He has a track record of turning prototypes into production (live-migrated VMs, CRM systems, Android support apps) and mentoring new managers to scale organizations. Based in Irvine, CA, he’s as comfortable diving into low-level performance optimizations as he is pitching VCs and customers. An underappreciated strength is his consistent ability to bridge research-grade systems thinking with practical operational reliability in production environments.
