Ramrakhyani

Builder. Generalist. Founder's right hand.

I build products end-to-end — from the first conversation with a client to a system running in production. 12 years across full-stack engineering, IoT, Voice AI, pre-sales, ops, and GTM. I move fast without cutting corners. Architecture-first, AI-assisted.
