Rahul Rao

Hi, I'm Rahul. I work on building and optimizing infrastructure for ads at Google as a software engineer. Previously, I attended the University of Wisconsin-Madison and graduated in December of 2025. My interests are quite broad and lie in the following fields:

• Machine learning research
  • Mechanistic interpretability
  • Pre-training
• Systems programming
  • GPU programming (CUDA)
  • Operating systems
• Mathematics
  • Algebraic number theory
  • Game theory

Outside of work I enjoy working out, exploring nature, and entrepreneurship. I also enjoy table tennis and badminton, as well as playing board games and card games.
