Voice AI & LLMs | Teaching AI to not be weird

About

I like building AI when things are still messy. I’ve worked with early-stage teams to turn vague ideas into working AI products - from being part of the first 100 employees at Krutrim, where I helped lead DataOps and managed ~40 people, to Nurix, where I worked as an AI Implementation / Prompt Engineer, taking AI agents from concept to production. I’m most excited by zero-to-one problems: shaping use cases, tuning models to real workflows, building lean teams, and sweating the small details that make systems scale. I enjoy moving fast, learning in public, and building AI that’s actually useful - not just impressive. Curious by default. Builder by nature. Always open to conversations around AI, product, and execution.
