About
Pranav Saji
I build AI systems that create real business leverage - not demos, but production infrastructure that scales. My work sits at the intersection of AI engineering, security, and product strategy, with a track record of $50M+ in measurable business impact across Fortune 100 companies and high-growth startups.
Currently, I lead AI security engineering at Symosis Security, architecting GenAI workflows for security analytics and evidence-based risk scoring. In parallel, I drive the InfoSec Custom SSPM initiative as a Machine Learning Consultant at LinkedIn - spanning 21+ applications across 50+ environments on Azure Databricks.
I have founded and led engineering at multiple AI companies: co-founded Referrio, served as Head of Engineering at BreatheIT, and was a Founding Engineer at Flair Labs (Y Combinator F24). Earlier, as an Analyst at Deloitte, I served multiple Fortune 500 clients delivering significant business impact.
My technical range covers the full delivery stack: React, Next.js, Node.js, Python, FastAPI; cloud-native architecture on Azure, AWS, and GCP; and AI/ML systems built on LangChain, RAG, and large language models. I hold an MS in Computer Science (AI) from Illinois Institute of Technology.
