Uday Yatnalli — Co-Founder

I build products faster using AI. Not because I'm chasing hype - because it works. For 8 years, I've bootstrapped Qogent to 60K+ users helping people reach Germany for education and careers. No VC, no huge team - just systems that compound. AI changed how I build. Not the "AI will replace developers" nonsense - the practical stuff. Shipping features in hours instead of days. Automating workflows that used to need a full team. Building smarter, not harder. What I've learned: the tools don't matter as much as the approach. I've used dozens of AI tools - some stuck, most didn't. What actually moves the needle is knowing when AI helps and when it wastes your time. --- What I'm Building: • Qogent Global - A study-abroad ecosystem serving 60K+ candidates: • MS in Germany® - Public university admissions platform • GoAusbildung - AI-powered vocational training platform • 88% admission success rate across 2000+ students Pikasso Studio - AI-driven web development for education, healthcare, and startups. We build websites that sell, not just tell. --- What I Share Here: • What actually works when building with AI (and what doesn't) • The bootstrapped founder's take on AI tools - no hype, just results • Real examples from products I'm actively shipping • Contrarian takes on AI trends that don't survive contact with reality --- Background: • M.Sc. Electrical & Computer Engineering - TU Munich, Germany • 10+ years building scalable digital platforms • Deep expertise in Next.js, React, TypeScript, Supabase, AI integration --- Open to helping founders implement AI workflows that actually ship. If you're trying to figure out which AI tools help vs. which are hype - happy to chat. DM me.
