About me

I’m Vinoo Ganesh — CEO & Co-Founder of Kepler, where we’re building AI that proves it’s right. Every answer Kepler produces is traced to its source. No guessing, no hallucination, no “probably correct.”

Before Kepler, I was Head of Business Engineering at Citadel, CTO of Veraset (acquired), and an engineer at Palantir. I’ve spent 15+ years building mission-critical data systems — and watching smart people make bad decisions because they couldn’t trust the numbers in front of them. That’s the problem we’re solving.

This newsletter is where I think out loud. Expect writing on deterministic AI, data infrastructure, the craft of building production systems, and what it actually looks like to start a company in this space. I don’t write to market Kepler — I write because the problems are interesting and the lessons are hard-won.

We’re backed by the founders of OpenAI, Meta AI Research, dbt, MotherDuck, and others who’ve built the infrastructure the world runs on.

If something resonates, I’d love to hear from you.
