Prior to Chemistry, Ayaan was at Fireworks AI, where he worked across sales, led product for vision modality inference, and was part of the core performance optimization team building on heterogeneous compute. Before that, he co-founded Neutrino AI, an intelligent LLM router that matched each request to the best-suited model across cost, latency, and accuracy. Ayaan studied Electrical Engineering at Georgia Tech, where he also conducted robotics research. Outside of work, he can be found cycling in Marin, reading up on art history, or backpacking.
