CTO | AI Product Engineering | SaaS | Enterprise Software | Techno

I'm Rakesh Dwivedi, a technology entrepreneur, product engineering leader, and founder with 18+ years of experience building software businesses, technology teams, and digital products. Since entering the software industry in 2008 and founding NewRise Technosys in 2010, I’ve worked across product engineering, enterprise software, communication platforms, digital transformation, automation, AI, and technology-led business growth. Today, I work with founders, businesses, and organizations that need more than just developers - they need a technology partner who can understand the business, define the right architecture, lead engineering, and turn complex ideas into scalable products. What I Can Help You Build ✅ AI-Powered Products & Platforms ✅ SaaS & Multi-Tenant Applications ✅ Enterprise Software & Digital Transformation ✅ Web & Mobile Applications ✅ AI/ML & LLM-Powered Solutions ✅ Business Process Automation ✅ Communication & Messaging Platforms ✅ API & Third-Party Integrations ✅ Scalable Backend & Cloud Architecture ✅ Technology Strategy & Product Roadmaps ✅ Legacy System Modernization ✅ Engineering Team & Project Leadership AI & Intelligent Systems I’m particularly interested in building software where AI is not simply added as a feature, but becomes part of the product architecture. This includes: • Generative AI & LLM applications • AI-powered automation • RAG and knowledge systems • Document intelligence & intelligent extraction • AI-assisted decision workflows • Human-in-the-loop systems • Conversational AI • AI agents and workflow automation • Data-driven intelligence platforms • AI integration into existing SaaS and enterprise systems Communication & Messaging Technology With extensive experience in communication technology, I’ve also worked on: • SMPP & SMS protocol implementations • SMS gateway integrations • Kannel-based messaging infrastructure • High-volume SMS platforms • WhatsApp Business integrations • Communication APIs • Notification and messaging automation Technology Leadership Beyond development, I can operate at the CTO / Technology Partner level — helping organizations answer questions such as: What should we build? How should we architect it? Which technologies should we use? How do we make it scalable and secure? How do we integrate AI meaningfully? How do we reduce technical debt? How do we build and manage the engineering team? My role can range from technology strategy and architecture to hands-on product engineering and engineering leadership, depending on what the business requires. Business + Technology Perspective Building technology companies has taught me that successful products are not created by technology alone. They require a combination of: Business understanding + product thinking + engineering + user behavior + execution. That philosophy has shaped the way I approach every project. I don’t simply ask “How can we develop this feature?” I ask: “What problem are we solving, who is it solving it for, and what is the most scalable way to turn that solution into a product?” Why Clients Work With Me • 18+ years in the software industry • Technology entrepreneur and founder • Built and led engineering teams • Experience across startups, enterprises, and government-focused projects • Strong product and business understanding • AI + software engineering + automation expertise • Architecture-to-production ownership • Long-term technology partnership mindset Whether you need a Fractional CTO, Technology Advisor, Product Engineering Lead, AI Product Architect, or hands-on technical partner, I can help take your product from idea → architecture → development → launch → scale. If you're building something ambitious and looking for someone who can think beyond individual features and take ownership of the technology as a whole, let's talk.
