Raghav Sethi

I'm currently building Milana, an AI product engineer that watches user sessions and listens to feedback to automatically improve activation, conversion and retention.

Previously, I led the AI engineering team at Airtable and was at Facebook, where I worked on Presto, an open-source distributed SQL query engine. Before that, I was a grad student in Computer Science at Princeton, advised by Dr. Michael Freedman. I completed my bachelor's degree at IIIT-Delhi.

Send me an email (GPG), or follow me on Twitter. Sometimes I take pictures that turn out okay.
