About Chinmay A.
I build AI products end-to-end from the first prototype to scalable systems in production.As a Founding Engineer at Plix AI (backed by Sequoia & a16z), I’ve helped grow the company from pre-seed → seed, launching core product capabilities and supporting deployments across North & South America. I thrive in early-stage environments turning ambiguous workflows into crisp, reliable software.What I am great at:• Applied AI & ML — computer vision; LLM-powered automation; intelligent search & summarization• Full-Stack Engineering — React/Next, mobile apps with Expo, Node/Python services• Cloud Systems — containerized services; telemetry & media pipelines; CI/CD + observability• Product Execution — value-moment definition; rapid iteration; co-design with usersMy Harvard-affiliated research experience and MS in CS from CU Boulder shaped how I think about experimentation, reliability, and measurable results. I love building products where AI meaningfully boosts human capability whether in physical operations, safety, or other real-world domains.If you\'re creating at the intersection of AI × product × execution, I\'d love to connect and learn from each other.
