Platform engineering
Multi-tenant SaaS, messaging infrastructure and the architecture holding both up. Systems that run for people who never chose to use them, which is a constraint that shapes every decision in them.
Software Engineer & AI Product Engineer
Building from anywhere
I build production software that survives contact with real users.
I'm Kashish, an engineer with nine years in enterprise software - messaging platforms, multi-tenant SaaS and the interfaces on top of them - and the last three spent putting language models inside all of it. The brief has never changed: take a genuinely complex system and make the first two minutes of using it feel obvious.

The brief
Three habits, one job
AI product engineering
Language models put inside software people use at work. The demo is the easy part. Making it reliable on a Tuesday afternoon, at a price the business can live with, is the job.
Product thinking
An MBA in Operations and Data Science sitting on top of the engineering. It means the business case and the code get discussed in the same meeting.

Atlas
A personal operating system that works like a chief of staff
Health, money, calendar, email and goals run as one connected system instead of fifteen apps that each see a slice. It reasons across domains everything else keeps siloed, it prepares anything but sends nothing, and it is judged on one thing: what disappears from the week, not what appears on the screen.
Judged by what disappears from the week, not by what appears on the screen.Read the case study →
