Akshay Kayastha is a founder and seasoned engineering leader with 13 years of experience building and scaling conversational AI and backend systems from research prototypes to production. He led engineering at ConverseNow.ai through pre-funding to Series A+, scaling voice-driven ordering to 1,500+ restaurants and 1.5M monthly orders while managing a 45-engineer, multi-continent organization. His hands-on background spans deep learning for voice and intent classification at Samsung and platform-scale ML/infra work at Soroco, where he led an SRE team and developed a patented screenshot-compression algorithm used in production. Now based in Austin, he’s translating that operational and ML expertise into his next venture, Tenet. Notably, he’s comfortable iterating at every layer—from C++ model components to cloud-native microservices—and has a GT CS master’s underpinning his applied research experience.
