He is an environmentalist by occupation and systems engineer by profession. He invented the protocol for transforming early analog internet connections to more robust digital connections, while accelerating their speed ten-fold. Any data accessed on the internet likely passed through a device implementing this protocol. Dr. Sailesh Rao is also a Human, Earth and Animal Liberation (HEAL) activist. He promised his granddaughter that the world will be largely Vegan before she turns 16 in 2026, so that people will stop eating her relatives, the animals.
