Welcome to my homepage! Since you are here, I assume you already know that my name is Prateek Joshi. I'm an Artificial Intelligence researcher and the founder of Pluto AI, a venture funded Silicon Valley startup building an AI powered analytics platform for water management.
​Here are a few things about me:

• Published author of 8 tech books 
• Three-time TEDx Speaker
• Featured on CNBC, TechCrunch, Silicon Valley Business Journal, San Francisco Chronicle, and more.
• My tech blog has received 1.4M+ page views from 200+ countries and has 7,300+ followers

• You can connect with me on LinkedIn and Twitter

​​Apart from Artificial Intelligence, some of the topics that excite me are number theory, cryptography, and quantum computing. ​​I have previously worked at companies like Nvidia, Microsoft Research, and a couple of early stage startups. I graduated with a Master's degree specializing in Artificial Intelligence from University of Southern California.  

I am an ardent football fan (and I don't like to call it "soccer"). I enjoy a good game of football and I like to play football as well. I am a fan of FC Barcelona and I'm a big fan of Lionel Messi. Apart from football, I like to play tennis, racquetball, and table tennis.

I enjoy watching movies and I have developed a liking for very specific genres like Neo-noir, Spaghetti Westerns, Jidaigeki, and Korean crime thrillers. As far as music goes, I like heavy and speed metal. My favorite bands include Black Sabbath, Megadeth, and Judas Priest. I am a guitar aficionado and I really enjoy listening to Flamenco. Spanish folk music played on a Flamenco guitar is just beautiful!
