I'm Vaibhav Raj - a builder first, everything else second. My path: Computer Science at IIT Roorkee → Goldman Sachs → founding engineer at a startup, where I grew into CTO and co-founder. I scaled it to multi-million dollar revenue while running engineering, ops, and marketing end to end hiring teams, setting strategy, and living every mistake a growing company can make. Today I build with AI daily, consult AI-first companies on strategy and execution, and run HeadsUp AI (@theheadsup.ai) where I break down the AI industry, tools, and playbooks for founders, engineers, and product people. What I can genuinely help you with: - AI strategy for your business: what to automate, what to build vs buy, and the stack to do it with - AI career moves: which lane fits your background, what to learn, what to build to stand out - Startup and product fundamentals: 0→1 building, tech team scaling, and shipping under real constraints I don't do hype. I've sat on the operator's side of the table every recommendation comes from having built, hired, and shipped for real. Book a call, come with your specific problem, and leave with a plan.
