Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJai Bhagat is a pragmatic software engineer and applied AI builder with 7 years of experience shipping production systems across startups and enterprise teams from New York. He combines backend systems work in Go and cloud platforms with front-end ownership—most notably leading the 70k-line Nomad UI at HashiCorp and contributing UI improvements to a widely used open-source orchestrator. Jai trains others to move beyond learning ABOUT AI to actually shipping AI products, having led large teams building Google Gemini/GCP solutions and created curricula that have taught hundreds to build CustomGPTs. He’s equally comfortable iterating fast through hundreds of prototypes to surface failure modes as he is stabilizing critical production systems (reducing build times, resolving long‑standing bugs, and building visualization tools for outage response). Outside of code he teaches systems thinking, advises on AI acquisition deals, and will gladly make you a cup of masala chai.
