Niraj A.

Professional background

I am the CTO & Co-founder of a company that is transforming product discovery and search for e-commerce through AI and NLP technologies. Over the last decade, I have worked closely with hundreds of merchants, translating their product discovery challenges into scalable, production-ready solutions that enhance customer satisfaction and drive revenue growth.

Through my connections in the investor community, I have had the chance to evaluate early-stage investment opportunities and provide guidance on designing scalable, privacy-compliant system architectures. I am particularly passionate about AI-related privacy issues and building secure, ethical AI systems.

I was previously a researcher at the University of Sheffield, where I worked on the GATE NLP framework. I hold a PhD in Computer Engineering, specializing in cross-lingual NLP systems. I enjoy collaborating on innovative AI technologies, especially in e-commerce and privacy-focused solutions.
