About

I embed with founders and ship the system the product actually needs.

Forward-deployed product engineer. Founding Engineer and CTO at SynergyBoat, deep in AI-native systems when the problem calls for it.

About Abhishek Uniyal

Seven-plus years across YC-backed startups and founding-stage teams, most of it at the intersection of product and engineering. Today I embed with teams and ship AI that keeps working past the demo.

Most of my working life has been about the distance between what a demo shows and what survives in production. So the work I take on is forward-deployed: I scope the real problem with the team, write the integration, and own it through to a result. The customer problem has to make sense before any model is called.

I build from problems I can't ignore. That's when I'm at my best.

Outside of work: self-hosted photo storage, keeping a small but patient garden, and reading. Based in Bengaluru.
