Ansh Babbar is a self-taught software engineer and founder with four years of experience building AI-first products and early-stage startups from 0 to 1. He currently splits time between founding Strift, an AI-powered fashion discovery engine, and senior analyst work at PwC, after helping launch klaro.care — an AI health-tech prototype addressing Germany’s nursing shortage. Hands-on across product, backend C++ contributions (including code quality and tests to the mlpack machine learning library), and mobile/web stacks, he blends engineering with product design and GTM instincts. Comfortable in accelerator environments and cross-functional roles, he leverages tools from OpenAI integrations to Flutter and MemGPT to ship scalable prototypes. Notably, his open-source focus on reliability (formatting, tests, docs) reflects a pragmatic commitment to maintainable ML systems.
