Top SchoolShivek Khurana is an experienced software leader and Head of Artificial Intelligence with 12 years building production-grade mobile, backend, and AI systems across crypto, fintech, and enterprise domains. He combines hands-on engineering (frontend work on Status mobile and backend Go integrations for media handling) with strategic product delivery—leading teams, shipping new design systems for 1.2M installs, and launching profitable NFT products on Solana. Recently he built a RAG-based research platform for a VC client that cut query times by 88% and migrated sensitive embeddings to private infrastructure for full compliance and auditability. Comfortable across stacks, he has driven deterministic automation (0% accounting errors) for on-chain tax reconciliation and reduced operational overhead through AI-driven developer tooling. A pragmatic founder and operator, he optimizes for reliability and cost (e.g., sub-$50/month chain indexers) while keeping user experience and monetization paths aligned. Based in Portugal, he mixes open-source contributions with startup grit and a knack for turning complex distributed systems into auditable, production-ready services.
