Sushil Pandey
Founding Engineer @Wavelength • GSoC'25 @OpenAFS
* I build distributed systems and AI-powered infrastructure that scale from Linux kernels upstreamed through GSoC 2025 to large-scale compute platforms. Currently building an Indian AI matchmaker at Wavelength.
Most at home deep in the backend, but give me the right mood or deadline and I'll craft any platform end to end.
