Book a Free Intro Call
30 minutes. No pitch, no pressure. We talk about your business, your biggest pain points, and whether AI is actually the right tool for the job right now.
Diagnosis & Proposal
I do a lightweight audit of your current workflows and tools, then come back with a clear proposal: specific opportunities, expected outcomes, timeline, and cost.
Build & Implement
We move fast. Most engagements start delivering value within 2–4 weeks. I handle the technical side; your team just needs to show up and learn.
Measure & Iterate
We track real outcomes — time saved, revenue generated, costs cut. If something isn't working, we adjust. You always know exactly where things stand.

About
Technical depth meets business judgment.
I'm Akshay Ramen, currently a Master's in AI student at UT Austin and working in AI strategy at Monotype. Before that, I worked at McKinsey and as a software engineer, giving me a rare blend of technical knowledge and deep business expertise.
My work sits at the intersection of strategy, engineering, and applied AI. I'm fluent in the “why AI” conversation with leadership and the “how to build it” conversation with technical teams, from machine learning and deep learning to reinforcement learning, automation, and practical AI tooling.
