CTO at Mara

Sriram Raghu

I’m an engineer who started out taking apart computers as a kid and never stopped. I’ve worked on FPGAs, web frontends, and everything in between.

Questions & Answers

Why are you excited about your company/product?

I think our approach of focusing on low cost tactical robots that are developed and deployed rapidly to meet active demands is fundamentally different from the way most folks think about defense and will be a game changer.

Can you share a distinctive achievement or highlight from your career?

I created software that significantly improved Linux software vulnerability reports published by NIST by tying them to the code that the issues were associated with and tracing them across various forks, branches, etc. The end result was an accurate list of all the vulnerabilities associated with a kernel based on the version number and guidance on how to correct them. Built from scratch in 3 months.

What sets you apart from others in your industry?

I have a strong intuition for grasping the intent behind engineering design decisions, a good sense for how to build on top of unfamiliar tech, and a knack for breaking down complex problems into bite sized issues.
