Hey there, I'm Rishi Ishairzay

I'm a creative AI product engineer in Brooklyn, NY.

Nowadays I'm building a hyper-local event discovery platform at Juice. See my previous exploits below.

In my personal life, I'm drawn to psychology, evolution, nature, cycling, space, improv, yoga, and likely other things by now. I have roots in Virginia, San Francisco, and now Brooklyn. My friends and family mean everything to me.

In my career, I've been a founder (3x), product manager, distributed systems engineer, front-end engineer (web & iOS), and many things in between. My more notable accomplishments are a 9-year stint at Twitter, bootstrapping a profitable startup with ~200K users, and ignoring a cease-and-desist from Activision.

I build beautiful products that help people understand themselves, connect with others, explore their curiosity, and have fun along the way. In other words, the products I wish existed. Personal favorites are marked with a .
