The Team

Small Team. Serious Engineering.

We are a founder-led, early-stage engineering startup. Right now, it's just us — building, experimenting, and shipping. But we're open to people who want to build alongside us.

The Founder

SSN

Sharad Shinnu Naik

Founder & AI/ML Engineer

M.Sc. in Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning & Cloud Computing. Focused on edge AI systems, intelligent IoT architectures, and production-grade ML deployment. Building systems that operate under real-world constraints — not just benchmarks.

Technical Focus:

Edge AI & IoT SystemsML Deployment & MLOpsAgentic AI ArchitecturesQuantized LLM Systems

Where We Are Right Now

Founder-led engineering — every line of code is written by us
No outsourcing, no agency work, no middlemen
Early-stage — building capabilities while delivering real services
Open to collaboration with engineers who value depth over speed

Open to Collaborators

We don't have a formal team yet. But if you are an engineer, researcher, or domain expert who thinks deeply about systems — we'd like to hear from you.

This is not a job posting. This is an open invitation to build something serious together.

Embedded & IoT Systems

C++, ESP32, MQTT, firmware engineering, low-level hardware integration.

Looking for:Engineers who've worked with real hardware constraints, not just simulators.

Cloud & Infrastructure

FastAPI, Docker, cloud architecture, MLOps, distributed systems.

Looking for:Engineers who understand cost, latency, and reliability trade-offs.

Open Source Contribution

Documentation, tooling, library development, testing frameworks.

Looking for:People who understand that good documentation is part of engineering.

What Working With Us Looks Like

We can't offer salaries right now. What we can offer:

Real Engineering Problems

You work on systems that go into production — not toy projects or mock challenges.

Technical Ownership

You own what you build. We don't micromanage architecture decisions.

Research Collaboration

If you want to publish, we support it. Our work is research-driven by nature.

Long-Term Partnership

We're building for the long term. If this grows, everyone who contributed early is part of that.

Direct Communication

No corporate layers. You talk directly to the founders. Decisions are made fast.

If Any of This Resonates — Let's Talk

Send us a message. Tell us what you've built, what you're thinking about technically, and what kind of problems interest you. No formal application. No resume required.
