Two years shipping at US startups. Founding engineer six months in.

I'm Yash, Fullstack Founding engineer at two early stage startups. I've been building e2e from scratch since 2024. Began orchestrating LLM workflows and building RAG systems for LLM-powered products in 2025.

Currently building an AI-powered CRM analysis platform at Oliv AI powering dozens of agents.

    Founding Engineer · Full-time

    Sole engineer on the entire product: no agents, no designers: 11 fully typed listing types each with its own data shape, a reverse auction with proxy auto-outbidding and snipe-guard extensions, a winner-cascade flow with variable-rate Stripe commission per listing type, and 14 transactional React Email templates with Twilio OTP. Dedicated verifiable phone number and address inputs for auth.
