About

With 11+ years of experience in engineering and product leadership, I build products that bridge the gap between complex AI and the next billion users. I thrive at the intersection of Generative AI, Product Strategy, and Scalable Infrastructure. I am currently obsessed with building the infrastructure for Indian language AI. Through my open-source work on the Open Vernacular AI Kit, I’m creating the normalization and agentic pipelines needed to make LLMs effective for code-mixed, multi-lingual inputs, the same challenges that global AI labs are racing to solve. My expertise sits at the intersection of three domains: - AI Infrastructure & Agents: Developing open-source SDKs and pipelines to solve for dialect-ID, RAG efficiency, and vernacular LLM performance. - Product Leadership: Scaling 0→1 products, with a track record of driving 750k+ active users and optimizing retention through data-informed, user-centric design. - Mobile Engineering: From Swift and SwiftUI to cross-platform development with React Native and Flutter, I focus on building scalable mobile applications and shipping reliable products end-to-end. I'm always open to discussing the future of Edge AI, Agentic systems, and building tech that moves the needle.
