From an unknown college in India to helping build the future of AI
If you've ever thought your background determines your future, this story says otherwise. One engineer started at a little-known college in India and climbed, one step at a time:
🇮🇳 Unknown college in India
➡️ Software engineer at eBay
➡️ Senior engineer at eBay
➡️ CTO at Robinhood
➡️ Head of Infrastructure at xAI
➡️ CTO of Compute at OpenAI
Today, he's responsible for the massive computing infrastructure that powers the training of GPT-5.6 and the next generation of frontier AI models. No Ivy League degree. No famous connections. Just nearly 20 years of relentless learning, execution, and steady progress.
