Hey, I'm Jitan 👋

The General Store (12 years before tech)

Before I wrote a line of code, I ran a general store for 12 years. That's where I learned operations, customer problems, and the difference between what people say they need and what actually helps them.

The Engineering Years (2015–2024)

I spent 9+ years as a .NET developer and then platform engineer — building multi-tenant SaaS, leading Kubernetes migrations for 400+ tenants, designing identity platforms handling 50K daily authentications, and architecting cloud infrastructure on Azure.

I worked on the kind of systems where downtime costs real money and shortcuts create production incidents. That's the lens I bring to AI adoption — not everything needs AI, and the things that do need it done carefully.

The Startup Attempts (2018–2022)

I tried to build 5 startups in parallel with my engineering career. One scaled a SaaS product to 30K monthly active users before shutting down. The others taught me what most AI hype skips over — distribution, sustainability, and knowing when to stop.

Now: Teaching AI Adoption

I build with AI tools daily — Claude, Cursor, Copilot, open-source models. I publish what works on YouTube (in Hinglish 🇮🇳), ship open-source tools, and run hands-on meetups in Mumbai where people build real things with AI.

I don't sell hype. I teach from practice.
