Hi, I'm Satish.
I build AI-powered products, from the first idea to production.
I'm a Senior AI Product Engineer with 6+ years of experience helping turn ideas into working software.
I work directly with founders and teams to build new products, improve existing applications, and make AI-powered prototypes ready for real users.
From architecture and development to deployment and ongoing improvements, I can help you move your product forward.

I can review your code and architecture to pinpoint what needs hardening before launch.
Portfolio & Evidence
Selected Work
Real software products and engineering architectures solving practical, non-trivial problems across AI, backends, and mobile.
AI-Powered Longitudinal Professional Memory & Context Retrieval
A professional intelligence product designed to help high-context professionals recover critical commitments, decisions, and relationship nuance before and after conversations. Built with FastAPI, Temporal durable orchestration, hybrid lexical/vector search, and a staged extraction pipeline that eliminates hallucination contamination.
Intimate Shared Space for Couples · Real-Time Canvas, Rituals & Offline Sync
A consumer mobile application designed for two partners to share low-friction emotional rituals, real-time collaborative drawing, and private media. Built with React Native (New Architecture), Expo Router, Supabase Realtime, and RevenueCat subscriptions, with resilient offline stroke queuing and non-recursive RLS security.
Local-First Personal Intelligence · SQLite Core, Durable Sync & Server AI Gateway
A personal productivity and intelligence system exploring how journaling, daily habits, tasks, and reflections converge with AI assistance—without forcing users into cloud chatbot silos. Built with a local-first SQLite architecture in Tauri/React, resilient outbox sync queues, and an authenticated FastAPI AI execution gateway.
Architectural Thesis & R&D · User-Owned Intelligence, Trust Boundaries & Provenance
An architectural research framework exploring trustworthy AI systems built around user data sovereignty, multi-tiered trust boundaries, verifiable evidence lineage, and reversible human-in-the-loop proposals.
Process
How I Work With You
Building software isn't just about writing code—it's about making the right technical decisions, keeping costs predictable, and launching something useful that real customers can trust.
Understand Your Idea
We start with what you're trying to build, who it's for, and what success should look like. I'll help you figure out what's worth building first.
Plan the Right Solution
I help choose the technology, architecture, and approach that fit your goals, timeline, and budget, without adding unnecessary complexity.
Build and Launch
From AI integrations and backend systems to full-stack applications, I handle the engineering needed to turn the plan into a working product.
Improve and Grow
Launching is just the beginning. I can help improve performance, fix reliability issues, add features, and adapt the product based on real customer feedback.
What I'm Working On
I build and refine AI-powered software—from professional memory systems to intelligent automation tools. Through these products, I tackle the real-world friction of shipping software: model reliability, latency, local-first sync, and intuitive user experience.
Typical Engagement Formats
A focused 3–6 week sprint turning your unbuilt idea or Figma design into a working, production-ready product.
Taking prototypes built with Cursor, Lovable, Bolt, or v0 and fixing state sync, rate limits, and reliability before real users arrive.
Working 10–20 hours/week directly with your team on architecture, core implementation, and high-velocity shipping.
Writing & Research
Engineering Insights
Practical essays and teardowns on building AI agents, token economics, context systems, and production architectures.
Automating Business Workflows With AI Agents: From Manual Tasks to Reliable Integrations
Find the right business process to automate and design a workflow with scoped tools, idempotent actions, approval checkpoints, retries, audit logs, and measurable outcomes.
How to Build an AI Agent for Your Business: Architecture, Costs, and Production Challenges
A practical guide to choosing an agent use case, connecting business tools safely, and planning the reliability, security, evaluation, and maintenance work around an AI agent.
Building an AI SaaS MVP: Architecture, Technology Stack, Costs, and Common Mistakes
Plan a useful AI SaaS MVP with a stack that fits the product, tenant-safe data boundaries, observable model usage, and a scope you can estimate without invented cost promises.
A Little About Me
I'm Satish, a Senior AI Product Engineer with 6+ years of experience building software across backend systems, full-stack applications, mobile development, and AI-powered products.
I enjoy working on products from the earliest idea through architecture, development, deployment, and continuous improvement.
I've also built my own products, so I understand that building software isn't just about writing code. It's about making the right technical decisions, managing costs, dealing with unexpected problems, and getting something useful into people's hands.
I work directly with founders and teams who value practical engineering, clear communication, and someone who takes ownership of what they build.
Have a Product Idea or Something That Needs Fixing?
Whether you're starting from scratch, improving an existing app, or looking for an experienced engineer to help move your project forward, I'd be happy to hear what you're working on.
