Biren Rajdev — Director of Engineering
My father is a doctor. When I told him I work in AI, he said - "Son, you should learn AI. It's the future." He didn't know I had been building it for years. That moment stuck with me - because it's not just a family joke. It's a mirror of where most professionals are today. Aware that AI is changing everything. Unsure where they fit in it. I am Biren. Director of AI/ML Engineering at Optum (UnitedHealth Group). 14+ years in Analytics. 6 years building Healthcare AI at scale - across Speech & Text Analytics, NLP, Generative AI, and Agentic AI - driving real impact on member experiences, health outcomes, and operations for one of the world's largest health systems. Patent holder. Alumni of Dunnhumby and Mu Sigma. I don't just build models. I build understanding. Whether it's translating complex AI for business stakeholders, designing systems that scale, or helping teams move from data-rich to insight-driven - I operate at the intersection of deep technical expertise and strategic clarity. But the work that I am most proud of isn't a model or a metric. Over the years, I have mentored hundreds of professionals through mock interviews, resume reviews, career pivots, and "what do I do next" conversations - across Data Science, Data Analytics, Statistics, and NLP. Many of them are now in roles they once thought were out of reach. If you are a mid-career professional trying to stay relevant in the AI era - or someone staring at career crossroads and not sure which move to make - let's talk. The AI era rewards those who prepare. I can help you prepare. Book a slot here: https://topmate.io/birenrajdev Hit 'Follow' to stay updated.
