About Mohit Sood

As a technology leader, I build systems, teams, and cultures that scale.I currently serve as Head of Engineering at Detect, where I lead the engineering vision and platform development for DetectOS — an AI-powered operating system for managing the world’s largest machine: the electrical power grid.From concept to execution, I built DetectOS from the ground up. Today, it processes massive geospatial and structural datasets, powers real-time inspection workflows, and enables utilities to identify and prevent failures before they happen. In simple terms — we use AI to keep critical infrastructure safe, reliable, and future-ready.I believe modern engineering is not just about writing great code — it’s about clarity of thinking, scalable architecture, intelligent automation, and a culture where builders thrive. At Detect, I’ve championed an AI-first engineering culture by integrating LLM-assisted development, smart IDEs, and automated feedback loops, enabling engineers to move faster without compromising quality.What drives me?Curiosity. First-principle thinking. And the thrill of solving complex, real-world problems that make a measurable difference.What I love working on- Distributed & high-availability systems- Platform architecture & data-intensive applications- AI-driven engineering workflows- Scalable product foundationsGuiding belief\"Technology should bring clarity, not complexity — and the right systems can elevate both people and possibilities.\"Be curious. Think deeply. Build boldly.I\'m always open to connecting with engineering leaders, founders, and builders passionate about AI, infrastructure innovation, and product-led technology.Let\'s build a smarter future.
