Himanshu Tayal — Co-Founder

I build AI products that developers love. At AWS, I pitched the Generative AI vision that launched a new 75-person organization, then led a team of 5 PMs to take Amazon Q Developer from idea to #1 on SWE-Bench — adopted by 100K+ enterprise developers in 18 months. At Microsoft, I architected the Teams developer platform that enabled third-party apps to reach 270M+ users, and launched embedded payments with Stripe and PayPal for 50M+ SMB users. Now I'm building ReRite — an AI-native platform that uses LLMs to modernize legacy codebases for regulated industries. We've secured pilots with Tier-1 financial services firms. What I do best: Take AI products from 0→1 (vision, funding, org creation, launch) Define technical roadmaps for agentic AI, RAG, and LLM-powered systems Build and scale developer platforms and ecosystems Negotiate strategic partnerships (GitHub, GitLab, Atlassian, Stripe, PayPal) Previously: Amazon Prime (international expansion across 5 EU countries), Scotia Capital (M&A, $5B+ in transactions), General Motors (supported $20B IPO).B.Tech in Computer Science → Senior Software Engineer → MBA (Indiana, Finance & Strategy) → Product Leader. Open to Director / VP / Principal Product roles in AI, developer platforms, and AI strategy. Let's talk: hanutayal@gmail.com https://github.com/hanu-tayal
