Mentorship with Ashish Tripathi - Tech Co-founder | Engineering Leader

I’m Ashish—an engineer at heart, CTO by experience, and startup founder by passion. With 18+ years building scalable systems and high-performing teams, I’ve worked across everything from enterprise-scale platforms at financial institutions to bootstrapped startups like Experlio.

As a Tech Co-founder, I’ve taken products from zero to one—shaping the architecture, managing cloud infrastructure, hiring dev teams, and leading full-stack delivery. I’ve worked hands-on with Java, Golang, React, GCP/AWS, Kubernetes, OPA, Kafka, Temporal, and many more tools/platforms and led initiatives integrating GenAI into product roadmaps.

Whether it’s debugging race conditions at 2 AM, optimizing CI/CD pipelines, or turning vague ideas into live apps, I thrive at the intersection of code, product, and people.
