About
From supercomputers
to viral AI products.
For 20+ years, I’ve expanded what I can build and lead—from software and hardware for Exascale HPC and AI to teams, companies, and products used by 1M+ people.
How I got here
I move toward hard problems and turn emerging technology into products people love.
- Built systems
Software and hardware for petascale, TOP500, Exascale HPC, and AI.
- Led teams
Researchers, engineers, and cross-functional squads aligned with executives around ambitious outcomes.
- Founded companies
Food Recalls, Spark, and Giga Maps, taking ideas from zero to viral products, revenue, and new categories.
Career Milestones
Each chapter expanded what I could build—and lead.
2007–2012
Purdue University
Built petascale HPC software for NSF-supported research, led a five-researcher team to 100× performance, and scaled simulation workloads to 100 TFLOPS across 100K+ physical nodes on TACC Ranger, NCSA Blue Waters, and Purdue Rossmann. Research advisors: Gregory A. Blaisdell and Anastasios Lyrintzis .
2013–2018
Intel
Led six engineers on advanced-computing R&D across DOE FastForward, DesignForward, CORAL, and DOD PUMA. Separately, shaped near-term products including Stampede2 (Xeon Phi KNL) and Aurora (Ponte Vecchio GPUs). PI: Josh Fryman
2018–2019
Intel Capital
Led portfolio business development that created $10M+ in qualified pipeline for Intel data-center products and mapped Intel Capital companies to Microsoft-related M&A targets for VP-level stakeholders evaluating a $100M+ strategic decision. Manager: Ran Kurup

SmartAddress
Built Food Recalls from zero to viral: 1M+ users reached with zero paid marketing, Top 10 in the US Food & Drink chart, $150K+ ARR in year one, and ongoing FDA acquisition discussions tied to modernization strategy.
2022
Classkick
Led 15+ engineers, delivered $1M+ in realized annualized GCP savings, and doubled deployment frequency and lead-time performance through DORA, lean systems, and a one-page specification culture. Reported to VP, Engineering: Dean Singh · CEO: Andrew Rowland
2023–Present
Curiosity Labs
Built Spark ’s multimodal AI stack, hired and led five engineers, raised $125K, reached the first 1K customers, and powered 2M+ voice experiences for kids. Co-founder: Shiva Jaini (YouTube Kids co-creator)
