02 / The person behind the products
An engineer with a founder’s perspective.
I’m Amit, a full-stack engineer and IIT (BHU) alumnus. I’ve worked across finance, healthcare, and consumer products, and co-founded two companies along the way.
Today, I’m building WetClay AI: a family of useful, connected apps. I care as much about how a product feels as how it works, from the first interaction to the infrastructure that keeps it running.
Clear thinking. Careful execution. Software that respects your time.
03 / Along the way
A career of
building things.
From global engineering teams to taking full ownership as a founder.
