# Hrushikesh Pokala
Engineering Lead at Equifax focusing on deep learning and cloud unit economics.

## About

Hrushikesh Pokala builds software and trains deep learning models at Equifax. With over a decade of engineering and a background in data analytics, he focuses on making AI systems functional.

He also examines the hard costs of software architecture. His talks break down how everyday code decisions—like Java memory usage or heavy frontends—directly drive up infrastructure bills on platforms like GCP.

Off the clock, Hrushikesh plays table tennis and road-trips his Tesla across the United States.
