## Headline

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\.
