Viljami Ranta
Software Engineer

About Me
I'm an incoming software engineer at Palantir, starting June 2027, based in London.
I work on the infrastructure layer that AI systems run on: scheduling and resource allocation, self-service platforms, and the data systems underneath. Right now I'm finishing my MSc in Helsinki with a thesis on semantic operators, putting LLM calls inside database queries and making them cheap enough to actually use.
I Like
Semantic Operators, Distributed Systems, Legible Systems, Leetcode, Kubernetes, Go, PostgreSQL, Factorio, Specialty Coffee, Linux, Nix, Vim, Tiling Window Managers
