Chandan Rajah

 

With over 25 years of experience in the forefront of technological advancements, I am a recognized artificial intelligence expert and pioneering technologist in the domains of artificial intelligence, programmatic advertising, and blockchain. As one of the Top 100 in UK Tech 2021 by Diversity UK, I have consistently driven innovation and achieved remarkable results throughout my career.

 

My journey began by building an AI start-up from scratch, which eventually led to a successful transition to Facebook (now Meta) after seven years. During my tenure at Facebook, I played an instrumental role in the success of video feeds, live video and video-on-demand. Leading three product and ML engineering teams, I achieved a significant increase in video feed content creation and consumption.

 

As a Principal Solutions Architect at Amazon Web Services (AWS), I am currently the senior-most technologist in EMEA, helping start-ups leverage the AI capabilities of AWS. My expertise extends to Generative AI and LLMs, where I have built architecture references for distributed training, distributed inference, and context-based fine-tuning of LLMs. 

 

I have made significant contributions in the field of biomedical AI, creating architecture references for the convergence of High-Performance Computing (HPC) and AI. I have actively fostered collaboration with prominent industry partners, executed multiple start-up community events, and established the EMEA-wide ML Community of Practice.

 

Throughout my career, I have consistently demonstrated a passion for pushing boundaries and building cutting-edge solutions. From computer vision to content generation, I have developed low-latency, highly distributed resilient products that have delivered remarkable results in programmatic advertising and media sectors. Additionally, my accomplishments include creating decentralization platforms, personalized recommender systems, and predictive analytics models that have driven significant revenue uplift and cost savings.

 

As founder at Parallel AI, I spearheaded groundbreaking initiatives that merged AI and blockchain. Notably, our tokenized attention platform, Karedo, acquired a substantial user base and empowered consumers with ad revenue shares through a stablecoin. 

 

My focus lies in generative AI, foundational model training, and large language models. I am passionate about leveraging the power of AI to drive innovation, create transformative solutions, and deliver exceptional business outcomes.
