Early in his career, Vinoo helped build Palantir Technologies’ large scale, low latency search and indexing backend that were critical software products across the commercial, government, and health care sectors. He eventually led the architecture and management of Palantir's Global Compute Team, powering all analytics across the organization’s customers.

Driven by his commitment to technological process, Vinoo transitioned into the role of chief technology officer at Veraset. As a data-as-a-service startup, Veraset played a pivotal role as a strategic data partner to the White House's COVID-19 Task Force. It helped organizations select retail sites, study population migration, manage disasters, and track diseases. Subsequently, Vinoo joined Citadel as head of business engineering, focused on leading elite software and data engineering teams dedicated to development products aimed at maximizing hedge fund investment returns. Vinoo is also an experienced startup advisor, lending his insights to companies like Databand.ai, Horangi, and Sync Computing, an MIT-backed, machine-learning-based data optimization platform.

During his time at WashU, Vinoo was involved with the Student Union, Carnaval, Diwali, Upsilon Pi Epsilon, and was a teaching assistant for multiple computer science courses. Vinoo also created the WashU Campus Circulator App, enabling students to track the real-time locations of campus buses. He is a member of the McKelvey Engineering National Council, the Alumni Board of Governors, and the Eliot Society.

Vinoo earned a bachelor of science degree in computer science with a minor in finance from WashU in 2013. He also earned a graduate certificate in computer science from Stanford University.
