Working on AI at Visa Crypto Labs, building Visa CLI. I build products that actually work in production.
About
At Visa Crypto Labs, I work on AI, building Visa CLI: a toolkit that brings AI generation, crypto, and payments together behind a single command-line interface.
Before Visa, at Marriott, I led evals for Bonvoy Conversational Search, handling 15M+ daily queries with agentic workflows and LLM-as-a-Judge frameworks. I care about systems that work end-to-end: from LangGraph orchestration to React frontends to production infrastructure.
I've shipped voice AI pipelines, async Python backends, and deployed AI into real hotel operations. The common thread: getting from prototype to users. I spend time with operators and founders understanding what actually matters—then building it.
I run hackerhomes in the US and India and work closely with OpenAI angels and founders. Technical deep dives in AI, systems, and human-centered product design drive how I think about building.
Projects
