Experience

Nimstrata

Co-Founder, Managing Partner

Jul 2023 – Present · 2 yrs 8 mos · Remote

I noticed a massively underserved market while working at Google, so I quit my job and became relentlessly focused on building the best apps to power Shopify and Salesforce Commerce Cloud stores with Google Cloud's Vertex AI Search for Commerce.
Now, we've eliminated the ridiculous up-front costs and headaches associated with implementing Vertex AI and proudly power search for some of Shopify's largest merchants including Lord & Taylor, Cotopaxi, and AMBIENDO.
