@vinaybadhan
Engineering leader driving AI/ML-enabled platforms, systems architecture, and cost-optimized cloud infrastructure.
What I'm looking for
I am an accomplished engineering leader with 7+ years of experience scaling from intern to Technical Lead / Engineering Manager, driving AI/ML-powered platforms and robust cloud architectures. I specialize in building scalable systems, optimizing costs, and delivering product-driven technical leadership.
At Medable I led development of AI/ML-powered code generation and agent systems that reduced clinical study build time from six months to under a week and improved profit margins substantially. Previously at HackerRank I built and scaled cloud IDE and assessment platforms, cutting infrastructure costs by over 50% and increasing concurrency and throughput.
I lead cross-functional, global teams and implement production-grade solutions such as custom RAG systems, multi-agent architectures, eval frameworks, and high-performance data pipelines, always focused on reliability, observability, and measurable business impact.
