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.

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.
