As the Founding Product Manager, I had the chance to build alongside a small, passionate team who believed in something big - making GenAI infrastructure open, accessible, and genuinely useful. We built a platform that helped teams train, fine-tune, and deploy open-source models, no matter the environment.
I remember early conversations with folks who told me B2B platform can get boring. Well, it doesn't when there is a wave of new models, new research, and everything new; coming at you from all sides. It was exhilarating, and in amazing fun!
From early prototypes to getting into Y Combinator , and from getting invited to Shell Catalysts & Technologies’s OpenHouse AI event to meeting wonderful minds - building, shipping, shaping, and making real time impact, this journey has been full of lessons, growth, and moments of real joy. I led product vision and strategy, led successful partnerships, built a sustainable community with 0-extra cost to the team; worked with amazing teammates, and helped shape tools that I truly believe can empower people in AI.
Being part of the AI ecosystem since its early days of moving from research to impact, this chapter has deepened my belief that building with care, intention, and heart matters.
To the Pipeshift (YC S24) team, especially the co-founders who took the bet on me - Arko C., Enrique Ferrao, Pranav Reddy, thank you for trusting me, for your grit, and for this big dream. To the community - thank you for believing in a future where technology opens doors for all of us.
Onwards.
