Summary
Sayon Dutta is a founder and seasoned software engineer with 12 years of experience building AI-driven, production-grade systems across startups and large tech companies. Currently co-founding FortifyRoot, he focuses on vendor-neutral, token-level visibility and enforcement for enterprise GenAI to solve cost stability, safety, and auditability challenges. He previously led engineering work at Amazon and Oracle, and brings hands-on expertise in deep learning, reinforcement learning, and applied ML from roles ranging from research scientist to SDE. Comfortable at the intersection of research and product, he has co-founded AI startups and authored technical content, showing a pattern of turning ML theory into operational systems. Based in Bengaluru and an IIT Kharagpur alumnus, he blends rigorous academic foundations with practical cloud-scale engineering. A less obvious strength is his emphasis on unified controls across models, agents, and clouds—treating observability and enforcement as first-class system capabilities rather than afterthoughts.
