About Abhishek Uniyal
Seven-plus years across YC-backed startups and founding-stage teams. Currently focused on AI-native systems — multi-agent orchestration, MCP toolchains, text-to-SQL engines, and voice AI. Previously at Zuddl (YC S20, $13.35M Series A during my tenure) and BoldCap (pre-seed / Future of Work fund).
Most of my working life has been about the distance between what a product demo shows and what survives in production. The engineering I'm interested in is the engineering that closes that distance. The brand of work I take on reflects that: fractional-CTO engagements with founders shipping AI-native products, where the customer problem has to make sense before any model is called.
Outside of work: self-hosted photo storage, keeping a small but patient garden, and reading. Based in Bengaluru.
