Technology and Product Lead | SaaS | AI Platforms

Most technical founders can build. Most product managers can strategize. Few can do both, and fewer still have shipped production-grade platforms across 5+ industries. I'm a Product and Engineering Lead with a track record of taking ideas from whiteboard to production. Combining deep technical execution with business-level thinking shaped by Masters degrees from USC (Computer Science) and UT Austin's McCombs School of Business. As co-founder and CTO of Kalpanecha Karkhana, I've spearheaded the innovation roadmap and launched 3+ production-grade platforms, including: 1. A Feature-as-a-Service compatibility intelligence engine built for B2B matchmaking platforms 2. A centralized TV infrastructure system managing 350+ hospitality screens remotely from a single server 3. A real-time speech translation wearable supporting 50+ languages — eliminating language barriers in customer-facing environments Before that, I: * Helped raise $3.5M in seed funding at Claira Technologies as an early engineering leader, scaling the platform from 0 to 10,000 users * Reduced manual media routing effort by ~65% at TMT Insights through core backend architecture work * Built large-scale file transfer pipelines handling ~150,000 files averaging ~30GB each * Developed BIOS-level middleware deployed across ~25M Dell devices annually I think in revenue, architecture, and scale simultaneously. I don't just build what you ask for, I help you figure out what's worth building. I can help you with: * 0→1 Product Strategy & MVP Design * Technical Architecture & Backend System Design * B2B SaaS Platform Development * AI/Algorithm-Driven Product Systems * Fractional CTO / Product Leadership If you need someone who can own both the vision and the execution, I'd love to hear about what you're working on.
