Kaustubh Hiware

Kaustubh Hiware

Kaustubh is a Senior Backend Engineer who has led multiple cross-platform initiatives at Mercari, Japan’s largest e-commerce marketplace. He has 6 research publications, in the domain of Machine Learning, Natural Language Processing, and Artificial Intelligence - all before AI was cool. He has a keen interest in B2B SaaS businesses, and ran a podcast interviewing startup founders in Japan.

Originally from India, he thrives at the intersection of complex systems and messy human collaboration. In his free time, he watches F1, goes on long runs along the river, and is often too busy cracking terrible/terrific jokes in any language he speaks; human or programming. Please do not ask him about smooth operators, Strava, or standups (comedy), for he will inevitably launch into a monologue.

Puspanjali Sarma

Puspanjali Sarma

I’ve spent 15+ years building data and AI systems—and what keeps me motivated is simple: turning ambitious ideas into dependable, production-ready capabilities that teams can trust.

Today, I’m a 𝗦𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗼𝗿 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗿 at 𝗦𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗰𝗲𝗡𝗼𝘄, leading AI platform innovations across Machine Learning, Generative AI, and data engineering. I enjoy the end-to-end work: aligning to business outcomes, designing the architecture, and partnering with teams to ship high-quality solutions. I’ve worked across Fortune 500 enterprises and global startups, and I’ve learned one pattern repeatedly—AI doesn’t scale because of a great model; it scales because the system around it is designed and operated well.

That belief is what led me to write my published book, 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗰 𝗔𝗜 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝗧𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗮—a practical playbook on building strong data foundations, responsible AI governance, and leadership habits that make AI durable, not fragile.

I was recognized among 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗮’𝘀 𝗔𝗜𝗠 𝟰𝟬 𝗨𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝟰𝟬 𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝗦𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝘀𝘁𝘀 (𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟱), and I’ve helped deliver scalable AI frameworks across BFSI, Healthcare, Retail, and Manufacturing. Mentorship is also important to me—I support communities such as WEHUB and women-in-tech networks, and I write and speak about ethical AI and inclusive team building.

I’m a 𝗗𝗘𝗜 𝗮𝗱𝘃𝗼𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗲 because inclusion isn’t a statement—it’s a daily leadership practice. I care about building teams where people feel safe to contribute, grow, and lead.

If you’d like to exchange ideas on scaling AI responsibly, building data platforms, or making GenAI work in real enterprise environments—reach out. I’m always happy to connect.

Chris Sellek

Chris Sellek

Chris writes things.

Most of the time, he's writing code as a senior software engineer at his 9-5 working for SAS. Occasionally, usually late at night after wife and three kids are asleep, it means writing fiction (often in the horror and fantasy space) as he prepares to launch his self-publishing author career.

Chris is passionate about helping people understand new or complex topics in ways that are engaging and entertaining, building software responsibly, and reminding engineers that curiosity and empathy are just as important as technical skill.

An extroverted engineer who genuinely enjoys speaking to a room full of people for 20+ minutes, Chris' presenting style has been described as "modern, with a TikTok flair" -- one of the greatest compliments he's ever received.

When he's not "writing things," you'll find him paying video games, reading fiction, or spending time with his favorite people (the aforementioned wife and three kids). he's also incredibly talented, funny, and a general pleasure to be around. And as an aside, he _insists_ that he did not write this bio.
