Vlad L is a seasoned software leader and founder with a decade of experience building scalable web and AI-driven systems from the Bay Area. As Co-Founder & CTO of HealthHelper, he leads development of an AI conversation engine and automated scheduling platform that has improved patient metrics and delivered consistent 5x ROI for customers. He previously led technical efforts at Splunk and startups, architecting high-throughput distributed microservices, real-time socket ecosystems, and modern front-end stacks while guiding migrations to React and GraphQL.
