I build products that compound.

I build products across consumer platforms, marketplaces and AI, from launching EatSure 0→1 and building reusable commerce platforms to rebuilding Foundit's discovery-to-apply engine and shipping production AI systems.

04AI Direction

Building AI systems that survive real-world constraints.

A production pipeline that enriched 173,517 company records end-to-end in 70 hours — replacing 352 hours of monthly manual effort with a system that uses models for probabilistic judgment, deterministic code for validation, and humans for ambiguous cases.

Models for probabilistic judgment. Code for validation. Humans for ambiguous cases.

05About Ashish

I tend to work on ambiguous product problems where growth, technology and organizational ownership intersect. My approach is to find the highest-leverage constraint, align teams around shared outcomes, and build foundations that compound rather than optimize isolated features.
