About Akhilesh Rangani

As a teenager, I was the kid my family and friends went to when their phone or laptop stopped working. I was the go-to person for fixing things and figuring stuff out.Today, not much has changed.I’m still the first point of call for technical problems — except now that curiosity has turned into building real software. After my undergrad, I leaned into my entrepreneurial side and started a company at 20, worked on it for a year, and then decided to go deeper by pursuing a Master’s in Computer Science at The George Washington University.Right now, I work full-time as a Founding Engineer at Tambo AI, where I build core product and developer tooling. I work across the stack and spend most of my time making things actually ship and hold up in production.Alongside this, I lead the engineering for TeachAnything.ai (formerly AI Alexa), an open-source platform that helps professors turn their course materials into custom AI teaching assistants. It started as a rough experiment and is now used by faculty around the world — also featured in The New York Times.I’m also active in open source and work on GitWit.dev, building parts of the cloud IDE, sandboxed execution, and developer workflows.Outside of work, I like making videos and documenting life through my camera.If you want to know more, feel free to reach out a••••••••@gmail.com
