Product Engineer for Founders
From zero to demo-ready — fast. I work with early-stage founders to build their first sellable product. End-to-end. No fluff.
How I work
Whether you need a complete build, a technical partner, or help figuring out what to ship first — I've got you.
End-to-end. Design, code, deploy. You bring the vision, I make it real and ready to sell. Frontend, backend, auth, payments — all handled.
I embed with you. Architecture decisions, fast iteration, launch together. A CTO without the equity negotiation — available from day one.
Not sure what to build? I help you scope down to exactly what your first customer needs, spec it out, and ship it. No bloat, just traction.

About me
Hi, I'm Rohan Chaudhari — a senior engineer with 7+ years building AI products, geospatial systems, and data platforms at scale. I've been a founding engineer at 2 startups, one of which was acquired. I know what it takes to go from zero to a product real customers pay for.
Now I work with founders and customer-facing teams — especially those building data-heavy or AI-powered products — to scope ruthlessly and ship fast.
Book a build call
Use the scheduler to grab a 30-minute slot. Bring the rough idea, a messy deck, customer notes, or the half-baked MVP plan and I'll help shape the fastest version worth shipping.
Good fit for
Scoping the first MVP before spending on the wrong features.
Figuring out what an AI workflow should automate versus what stays manual.
Pressure-testing whether the product is close enough to start selling.
