About me
Rohan Chaudhari
Senior Software Engineer — AI Products & Data Platforms
Senior engineer with 7+ years designing and shipping AI products, geospatial systems, and data platforms end-to-end — from customer discovery and product scope through full-stack implementation, observability, and production operations.
I've been a founding engineer at 2 startups (one acquired). That means I know what it takes to go from zero to a product that survives contact with real customers — not just technically, but strategically. When you're early, every decision has a cost. I help founders spend those decisions wisely.
Today, I work with founders and customer-facing teams — especially those building AI-powered or data-heavy products — to scope ruthlessly, build fast, and ship systems people can actually use in the field.
