My name is Vinoo and I’m building Keru.ai.
Previously, I was Head of Business Engineering of Ashler at the Citadel Investment Group, where I was responsible for building a commercially focused software engineering team and oversaw critical data pipelines / investment platforms.
Prior to that, I was CTO of Veraset, a geospatial intelligence data-as-a-service startup. My team and I built systems that processed over 2 TB of geospatial data daily and enabled 80+ customers to analyze and build on top of this data.
I began my career at Palantir Technologies, where I worked on Palantir’s large scale, low-latency, search and indexing backend, before leading a portfolio of technical engagements across Palantir’s most critical customers, commercial, healthcare and defense customers. I also helped build Palantir Frontline - the standard for growing and scaling Palantir’s Forward Deployed Enginerring team. I also managed Palantir’s Spark/YARN based compute backend.
I spend time as a startup advisor, advising Databand.ai’s development of tools to solve data observability problems across the stack, Horangi’s development of their best-in-class cybersecurity product, Warden, and Sync Computing’s Databricks optimization platform.
I’m also a member of the McKelvey Engineering National Council of Washington University as well as the Alumni Board of Governers.
Drop me a note! Would love to chat.
