Chess.
Patterns, patience, and the consequences of a single move. I enjoy the thinking as much as the game.
I'm Dhruv Bajaj, a founder and AI engineer based in India. I joined SimCare AI as its first hire. As a Founding Engineer, I build the infrastructure behind AI client conversations for healthcare training: speech, language models, video, and a product that brings them together.
I was also the first hire at Artisan AI, building the early systems behind personalized sales outreach. At Stack AI, I worked on workflow execution and integrations. Across three YC-backed teams, I've worked from backend architecture through to the product details people interact with.
I also co-founded UpgradeLLM, a venture of my own, from December 2024 to April 2025. We built an application to help enterprise clients migrate legacy systems from older technology stacks to modern ones.
I like to break a problem down, make the trade-offs clear, and test the assumptions before committing to an approach. Then I build, measure, and refine. The interesting part is making all that complexity feel simple.
My work connects AI models, reliable infrastructure, and the interfaces that make them useful. These are the technologies I build with.
Chess, a good puzzle, and the things that make me see a problem differently.
Patterns, patience, and the consequences of a single move. I enjoy the thinking as much as the game.
Puzzles, hidden assumptions, and systems to untangle. I like working out why something works.
Sports, travel, and music. A change of pace often brings a different way to see the problem.
