Hey there, I'm Rishi Ishairzay

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

Nowadays, I'm building hyper-local products that connect you to your city (like Juice and Beebot).

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.

Below are some fruits from how I've spent my time. Personal favorites are marked with a .
