Shloak Rathod

Currently, I'm working at Netic AI (backed by Founders Fund), bringing AI to America's backbone. I'm working on growth & engineering. Previously, I built Poke.com (launch) at The Interaction Company of California (backed by GC). In 2024, I placed 2nd overall at TreeHacks for early Vision Pro work just two weeks after launch (~$10k, 400k+ views) and won three prizes at HackMIT and CalHacks for satellite connected TinyML systems and parallel GPU processing on iPhones. Earlier, I grew up in Mumbai, published research at IEEE COMPSAC, winning underage at UPenn and UMich hackathons, and founded a startup that reached high five-figure revenue. I'm now in LA studying CS, Math, and Econ at UCLA.

Love 🕺🌇 house music, 🌍 travelling, 🎮⚽ FIFA, podcasts, and essays.
