Intro

I'm Rohit, the Technical Founder at PropulsionAI, where I'm currently building 'Fay'—an AI Workforce Platform designed for non-technical teams. My journey in tech spans over 13 years, during which I've shipped more than 50 products. Before PropulsionAI, I was the CTO at Zivost Technologies, where I scaled the company to $1M ARR and managed a team of 50. I'm a self-taught programmer who values practicality over hype; I care deeply about building AI that is safe, useful, and ready to 'actually ship.' I'm passionate about the zero-to-one phase of startups and love solving complex problems in AI infrastructure and autonomous agents. I'm here to connect with fellow founders and engineers who are interested in making AI practical for real-world business operations.

Opinions

Practicality over hype: focus on building things that actually ship.
Self-taught paths are valid; 13+ years of experience outweighs a CS degree.
AI safety requires human-in-the-loop approvals and sandboxing.
