Hey! I'm Shashwat. I’m a software engineer and founder obsessed with high-velocity startup environments and building the connective tissue for AI. Currently, I'm a Forward Deployed Engineer at realfast.ai and the founder of Karada.ai. My day-to-day revolves around AI infrastructure, distributed systems, and standards like the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to help AI agents seamlessly interact with data. Previously, I cut my teeth as a Founding Engineer at an early-stage German startup and as an Analyst at Accenture. Let's connect if you want to chat about: Architecting and scaling AI tool infrastructure. Integrating MCP and building agentic workflows. Navigating the 0-to-1 journey as a technical founder. Thriving in fast-paced builder roles versus traditional corporate structures.
