# Vivek Venkatram > Engineering | Robotics | Product Location: San Francisco, California, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/vivekvenkatram I turn abstract problems into living systems. Started in Mumbai sketching robots that could think, ended up in San Francisco building experiences that think with you. I've taught machines to see (computer vision at iCueMotion), helped cities understand movement patterns (geospatial data at Foursquare), decoded how organizations think (knowledge graphs), and decoded how organizations communicate (knowledge graphs at Superhuman (fka Grammarly)). Each role revealed the same truth: technology reaches its potential when it amplifies what makes us human. Now building Superhuman Go, I'm architecting AI assistants that don't replace human judgment but expand it. From organizational intelligence systems to human-AI collaboration interfaces, my work centers on one belief: AI should unlock the superhuman in everyone, not make humans obsolete. My approach: Listen deeply. Build with empathy. Ship experiences so intuitive they feel like extensions of thought itself. Every line of code is a bet that technology can make us more creative, more capable, more connected to what matters. Currently crafting: AI ecosystems where anyone (not just engineers) can build intelligent tools that understand context, anticipate needs, and explore possibilities alongside them. The future I'm building toward: A world where AI democratizes genius, not gatekeeps it. wewake21 [at] gmail [dot] com ## Work Experience ### Software Engineer @ Superhuman Jan 2025 – Present | San Francisco, California, United States Go - Ecosystem Go - Agent Core Experience ### Software Engineer @ Grammarly Jan 2024 – Present | San Francisco, California, United States Superhuman Go Coda Brain Grammarly - Organizational Knowledge (Trust and Enterprise) ### Software Engineer @ Foursquare Jan 2023 – Jan 2024 FSQ Location Platform -> Location Functions -> Data Services * Implement new sales impact and visits endpoints to track the consumer journey from exposure to purchase, providing detailed sales metrics and demographic breakdowns * Lead the development of a caching layer for the Attribution product, reducing report generation time and enabled faster access to critical marketing metrics * Design and implement data archiving strategies to identify, archive and remove infrequently accessed petabytes of legacy data * Lead the migration of key endpoints from a legacy backend to a scalable architecture, reducing failures and response time * Updated metrics on UI and report downloads based on client needs, improving client UX and reducing download failure rates ### Lead Computer Vision Engineer @ icuemotion Jan 2018 – Jan 2023 | San Francisco Bay Area Software • Work closely in backend algorithms, distributed and scalable systems (mongoDB, AWS Batch S3 Lambda, EC2, ECS, serverless, PostgreSQL, Flask, Docker, Kubernetes) to seamlessly integrate with frontend systems • Implement RESTful APIs in Golang for signup, onboarding, user and session statistics, social, user levels and groups, etc. • Design and implement reusable, responsive, user-friendly component-based charts, visualizations in 2D and 3D, and UIs to view inertial data, computer vision data and dashboards using React.js, D3.js, Plotly.js and Three.js;
