A glimpse into me.
Hi there I'm Niraj Yagnik, the Co-Founder and CTO of FPX AI, where we are building the first centralized marketplace for AI infrastructure. I am also the Co-Founder of Aurexis, a platform dedicated to helping construction SMBs bring their dream projects to life . My interests lie in AI research and product development, and I have dedicated much of my life to creating solutions that people love.
Previously, I served as the Head of Product at BitOoda, an investment bank in the high-performance computing space. Prior to that, I wore the hats of AI Researcher and Senior Developer at Reliance Jio and ICICI Lombard.
I hold a Master’s degree in Computer Science from UC San Diego and a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Engineering from Manipal Institute of Technology, where I conducted research on AI, Explainable AI, and Human-AI Interaction (see my Google Scholar profile).
Outside of work, I enjoy lifting, boxing, watching movies, and volunteering for causes close to my heart. I spend a lot of time thinking about AI, human-AI interaction, high-performance computing, software, construction, and movies.
