Vivin Paliath is a pragmatic engineering leader and Co-Founder/CTO with over 16 years of hands-on software experience and a freshly completed PhD in Computer Science that informs his work on AI-infused products. He architects and ships cloud-native systems and AI/ML features—leading Basata.ai from MVP to a production "microlith" platform while maintaining HIPAA and SOC2 compliance. Comfortable across Java/Spring, Node/React, and Python, he combines deep systems and security research (notably state-space modeling and the SandPuppy fuzzing framework) with practical DevOps: custom GitHub Actions, CI/CD, and cloud infrastructure. Past roles span enterprise-scale engineering at Kroger and Tech Data, AI-driven threat intelligence at CYR3CON, and platform work at Infusionsoft, showing a consistent focus on reliability, testability, and automation. He excels at rapidly learning new domains, digesting dense technical literature, and converting research-grade ideas into production software. Based in Chandler, AZ, he brings a rare mix of academic rigor, military discipline, and startup pragmatism to solving messy, real-world problems.
