Pranav Gujarathi

Pranav Gujarathi

I'm a Generative AI & ML Engineer based in Austin, TX — and I genuinely believe we're living through the most exciting moment in the history of computing. I've spent the last 8+ years turning that belief into production systems that actually move needles.
Right now, I work as a **Senior AI Engineer at [Twin Health](https://www.twinhealth.com/)**, where I architect multi-agent AI platforms for personalized digital health. The work hits close to home in the most literal sense: the AI systems I build — ones that ingest real-time wearable data, interpret lab results, and deliver hyper-personalized diet and nutrition guidance — have contributed to a **37% Type 2 diabetes reversal rate** across our patient population. That's not a dashboard metric. That's people reclaiming their health.
Before Twin Health, I spent over a year at **Cigna Health** building Generative AI into the Prior Authorization process — a notoriously slow, paper-heavy corner of healthcare that desperately needed agentic intelligence. And before that, I spent two years at **Walmart Global Tech**, where I built a voice/text-driven AI tool that saved **130,000 associate work hours every single week**, and a RAG-based system that cut attribute-extraction costs by **80%** with **24× faster turnaround**. Large-scale impact is something I've come to expect from this work.

My path here wasn't strictly linear. I started as an Electrical Engineering undergraduate at **IIT Roorkee**, pivoted into data science at **Indiana University – Bloomington** (where I earned a Master's and the Luddy Outstanding Research Award), and along the way published research at **NeurIPS** (Best Paper) and **ACM COMPASS**. More recently, I completed an **MBA in Entrepreneurship** from University of the Cumberlands — because building great AI isn't just an engineering challenge, it's a product and people challenge too.

Diptiman Mitra

I'm a Senior Software Architect working on agentic AI systems in healthcare diagnostics. Most of my time is spent figuring out how to make large language models play nice with enterprise security requirements—especially when those models need to access patient data across chat, voice, and SMS channels.

Before diving into AI, I built developer experience tools and led engineering teams where I learned that the hard problems are rarely about the technology itself. They're about making complex systems work reliably when real people depend on them.

I've been deep in the Model Context Protocol (MCP) world lately, building servers that let AI agents interact securely with backend systems. That work surfaced a lot of messy authentication challenges that don't have clean answers in the OAuth specs. My talk comes from those real-world battle scars.

You didn’t burn out because you are weak. You burned out because your nervous system is stuck in survival mode.

I am Dr. Danielle Griffin—a Doctor of Organizational Leadership, Clinical Consultant, and Keynote Speaker. I help high-performing leaders, HR professionals, and executive teams stop trying to "mindset-shift" their way out of burnout, and instead, teach them how to biologically reverse it.

In today’s corporate environment, high-achievers carry an "Invisible Backpack" of over-responsibility, urgency culture, and unassigned emotional labor. Over time, this doesn't just cause psychological stress; it creates a physiological tax that destroys executive capacity, limits focus, and leads to chronic pain.

I shift the conversation from psychological blame to biological reality.

Drawing on over a decade of clinical experience, a Doctorate in Organizational Leadership, and advanced certifications in clinical hypnotherapy and somatic movement (including study under world-renowned hypnotist Paul McKenna), I equip organizations with tangible, clinical interventions. I don't just deliver motivational keynotes; I provide tools—like 90-second somatic boardroom resets—that leaders can use immediately to flush cortisol and restore decision-making power.

📊 THE ROI OF SOMATIC LEADERSHIP:
Through my corporate consulting and clinical integration methodology, we don't just talk about wellness; we measure biological recovery. Our tailored programs have resulted in:
• A 67% reduction in stress and burnout markers within 3 weeks.
• A 50% measurable improvement in executive focus and cognitive capacity.
• A 65% reduction in chronic pain intensity after 4 weeks.
• A 50% increase in overall quality of life and workplace resilience.

🎤 SIGNATURE SPEAKING & CONSULTING TOPICS:
⭐ The Invisible Backpack: Leading at Your Highest Level Without the Physiological Tax
⭐ Somatic Leadership: Reclaiming Executive Capacity and Focus in High-Stakes Environments
⭐ From Survival to Strategy: Biological Resets for the Boardroom

Named "Best Pain and Stress Management Expert in Houston" and International Impact Book Award Winner for "Somatic Exercise Made Simple."

Jake Butler builds software where getting the details wrong has real consequences.

He is the founder of Corvo Labs and the builder behind the lower dB (thelowerdb.com), an independent editorial intelligence desk for people navigating GLP-1 medications — no affiliate rankings, no sponsored content, no clinic partnerships. the lower dB runs on an 11-stage AI editorial pipeline with human review at every publish decision.

He also built FreshProof, a claim verification and freshness-monitoring system that extracts factual claims from published content, verifies them against tiered sources, and tracks when they’re likely to go stale. FreshProof powers post-publish verification for the lower dB and is designed as a standalone API for content teams in healthcare, legal, finance, and general domains.

Jake cares about the craft details most people never notice: the difference between a fluent draft and a sourced article, between a model benchmark score and a production-safe extraction pipeline, and between AI-assisted software and AI slop with a domain name.
