I build at the edge of what software can do.

The architecture call, the build nobody has scoped yet, the production problem three teams have already bounced off — I come in, figure it out, and own it end to end. Agentic architectures, AI-native runtimes, distributed systems, and ML infrastructure.

Portfolio

Co-Founder & CTO · 2025 — Present

Operable

A business operating layer that unifies CRM, ERP, finance and support data so AI agents and teams can safely automate renewals, credit decisions and collections — without replacing the systems already in place.

What I built

The runtime itself — giving AI agents governed business context across customers, contracts, invoices and relationships instead of isolated APIs.

Malleable

An app builder for a group computer. Build multiple apps with AI on a custom AI framework and platform that runs them safely, collaborate with others, and keep building without worrying about breaking things.

What I built

Malleable apps — composable, and safe for AI to edit. Agents make targeted, structural edits to live systems instead of regenerating whole applications.

Subtext

AI customer research with human depth — study design, participant recruitment, AI-moderated interviews and live reporting, turning research cycles from weeks into hours.

What I built

The agentic system end to end: knowledge graph, persistent memory, planning and execution wired into a multi-agent platform that runs in production.

Tangible

Research you can act on — AI-moderated interviews with real, recruited customers rather than synthetic personas, producing board-ready reports with themes, verbatims and recommendations.

What I built

The production agentic research platform it runs on — continuously researching products, competitors, churn and market trends.

Justickets

Show times and online cinema ticket booking across India — hundreds of cities from Chennai to Kolkata, in English, Tamil, Telugu and Malayalam.

What I built

The entire stack from scratch — distributed Go microservices on AWS with Redis, cloud deployment and CI/CD, engineered to scale to an Indian-population audience.

Selected Work

AI Platforms & Agentic Systems
001

Founded Malleable, an AI-native runtime that enables coding agents to make targeted, context-aware edits instead of regenerating entire applications — reducing disruption while supporting continuously evolving software. Validated the approach through pilots with ~500 users across two university campuses.

002

Reimagined enterprise software as an AI operating layer, founding Operable — a runtime that gives AI agents governed business context spanning customers, contracts, invoices, and relationships instead of isolated APIs. Currently piloting with enterprise customers.

003

Delivered a production agentic research platform for an AI company by combining knowledge graphs, persistent memory, planning, and execution into a reliable multi-agent system that continuously researches products, competitors, and market trends.

ML & Distributed Systems
004

Built reinforcement learning systems at Google to estimate online-to-offline store visits by training and serving models over petabyte-scale datasets combining location history with advertising events.

005

Designed distributed streaming infrastructure processing petabyte-scale data, and built self-healing observability systems capable of monitoring and automatically updating production Dataflow pipelines.

006

Launched Google Cloud Dataflow Flex Templates, driving 10× adoption within three months while simplifying deployment for enterprise customers.

Product Ownership
007

Led products from zero to one — owning customer discovery, product strategy, architecture, engineering execution, and enterprise pilots while iterating through multiple pivots based on market feedback.

Let's build something together.

I get back within 24 hours.

Happy to jump on a call — I'm on Pacific time. WhatsApp or a text works just as well.

I take on a small number of independent engagements alongside Operable — agentic systems, AI-native runtimes, and ML & data infrastructure. Architecture reviews, zero-to-one builds, or getting an AI system that demos well actually running in production. Tell me what you're building.
