The person before the products

I sit at the intersection of business strategy and applied AI. The first half of my career was building software businesses; the second half is making AI actually ship inside them. I'm known for moving organisations from pilot to production — agentic workflows, retrieval-augmented systems, and copilots that touch real P&L rather than living in a slide deck.

Alongside that, I've become a loud advocate for local-first, uncensored AI: privacy-preserving inference that runs on your own hardware, escapes cloud quotas and content filters, and keeps your data — and your judgement — on your side of the firewall. In an era of ever-tightening guardrails, I believe the most capable, most trustworthy AI is the AI you own.

Because the thinking comes first. ravijeet.com is the person and the point of view — the essays, the opinions, the track record. iotasol and a network of specialist products (Replocity, iPraktice, GoRefer, iotaserv, iotaskale) are the delivery engine I route into when the work needs hands.

Engage the thinker first; the right team follows. That decoupling is deliberate: it means you can work with the judgement, not just the logo.
