About Vishal K S

I\'ve spent the last six years building backend systems for web applications, working on AI systems, tearing it apart to understand it on a deeper level, and occasionally dabbling in iOS and Shopify development. I\'ve designed data pipelines that handle millions of data points, and built extensive telemetry and product insights which taught me to actually appreciate good metrics instead of just talking about them.My work spans beyond just backend, I do frontend when needed, some machine learning, and as a startup should, I\'ve sat through my share of UX sessions, customer service calls, and marketing meetings. When you\'re early stage, you wear whatever hat needs wearing, however embarrassing the fit may be.Outside work, I used to tutor kids in math and science at shelter homes around Bangalore. I\'m also into high-altitude hiking (the kind where you curse your preparation and fitness halfway up), play football, and I also practice Muay Thai.
