Tejas Patel — CTO
I started my career as a professor, teaching everything from Python for Data Science to Programming in C, mentoring students, and leading teams that won state-level hackathons. During that time, I also delivered several expert talks and seminars across colleges in the state, sharing knowledge and inspiring the next generation of technologists. That chapter taught me how to simplify complexity, communicate ideas clearly, and nurture problem solvers. But over time, I wanted to solve harder, real-world problems and that curiosity led me into software engineering. Today, I focus on building AI-driven products that redefine how testing and automation are done. My work sits at the intersection of AI product development, intelligent automation, and software architecture, where strategy meets execution. I believe technology evolves fastest when ideas are bold and implementation is disciplined. That’s the mindset that shaped my journey from the classroom to leading the development of CoTester, the world’s first AI Testing Agent. Outside work, I’m usually reading, listening to podcasts, or exploring the outdoors with a camera in hand. Always open to conversations about AI, automation, and emerging tech.
