- Training—Make your engineering team more effective at shipping with Agent-First Software Engineering
Background
Our founder spent over a decade building AI systems that scale. As an early engineer at two acquired AI companies, he learned what works (and what doesn't) when shipping AI to production:
- Drift: Conversational AI for marketing and sales (acquired by Vista Equity Partners for $1.2B)
- Kensho: AI for financial services (acquired by S&P Global for $550M)





Testimonials
“Vignesh has transformed our engineering team's relationship with AI development. Working across our entire organization, from individual contributors to leadership, he's delivered both immediate tactical wins and long-term strategic capability building. This engagement exemplifies how external AI expertise should work - practical, results-driven, and immediately applicable to our business goals.”
“Vignesh brings a rare combination of deep AI understanding and hands-on execution. He quickly identifies the highest-value opportunities, partners effectively across teams, and translates complex technical realities into clear, practical actions. He's helped level up organizational capabilities, contributed directly to product progress, and driven a meaningful shift in how teams think about AI across roadmap, strategy, and day-to-day decision-making.”
“Vig came highly recommended from former teammates and execs I trusted and I learned why. Vig understood the balance between building with Agentic AI and helping product teams embed AI in their existing products and teams. He gave an accurate view of what was possible and tradeoffs of time vs. complexity (without AI hype).”
“Vignesh helped our staff engineers build a strong understanding of applied AI and showed them how to use AI tools to speed up development in meaningful ways. He played a key role in shaping our AI roadmap, helping the team get clear on both what to build and how to build it. He also designed the systems that let us run all our models on internal infrastructure, ensuring customer data stays private and secure. His guidance helped us move faster in the near term while laying the groundwork for long-term growth in our AI capabilities.”
