## Software Development Engineer (SDE) — Tejas AI (YC W25)

*Mar 2026 – Aug 2026 · SF, California, USA*

Tejas AI builds Elip, an AI career coach that lives where job seekers already are: WhatsApp, with a web app, a Chrome extension and a mobile app around it. The pitch is that looking for work is mostly unglamorous logistics, and most of that can be handled by an agent that remembers you between conversations.

## AI Researcher & CTO — AuraX

*Dec 2024 – Dec 2025 · Hyderabad, India*

AuraX was a fashion-tech company incubated at IIIT-Hyderabad's CIE. Fashion e-commerce needs on-model photography for every garment, in every size, on every body type, and a photoshoot per SKU does not scale. We generated that imagery with diffusion models instead.

## Founder — SynthAiLabs (formerly OpenEdu)

*Dec 2023 – Feb 2025 · Remote*

SynthAiLabs, which started as OpenEdu, was an attempt to compress how long it takes a student to become employable. Part edtech product, part community, aimed at Indian engineering students who had the ability but not the ramp.

## Open Source Collaborator | Project Mentor — Tublian

*Dec. 2023 – April 2024 · Columbus, Ohio*
