About

Building Seerly, a platform that helps brands measure and improve visibility in AI search. AI answers are becoming the first touchpoint for discovery. When users ask ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, or Claude, your brand either shows up, shows up incorrectly, or does not show up at all. Seerly exists to change that. We help teams understand how AI systems retrieve, rank, and cite information, then provide practical workflows to improve what gets said about their brand across these engines. Our team has built infrastructure and products behind modern AI at Microsoft, Amazon, and Atlassian. Now we’re applying that experience, along with strong product craftsmanship, to build a category-defining platform for AI search visibility. I’m Rakesh Menon, Co-Founder and Product Lead at Seerly, previously at Atlassian and Maersk. I focus on turning complex signals into clear, usable product experiences, grounded in frontend performance, modular architecture, and developer-first workflows. If you’re building for this shift and want your brand represented accurately and consistently in AI answers, I’d love to connect. Twitter: @SublimeCoderX GitHub: @rakeshmenon

Lead Platform Architect (Experience/Frontend Engineering)

Aug 2021Jun 2024 · 2 yrs 10 mos · Bangalore, India

  • As a member of the Supply Chain Platform - Experience Engineering team, I contributed to the comprehensive rearchitecture of the web experience layer. This involved consolidating over 20 independent applications into a unified framework, ensuring consistent user experiences, seamless navigation, and shared cross-platform widgets. Additionally, I led the migration of frontend performance metrics to an in-house dashboard powered by Grafana. This dashboard allows us to closely monitor performance trends over time, enabling timely alerts and actionable insights (SLOs) for specific streams.

The user can edit navigation and content on the converted mobile website before publishing it. Of course, there are options available for non-developers where we do it for you for a small fee! :)
