What it takes to make AI agents enterprise-ready
Columbia DAP Lab × Purple Fabric
Aditya Rajashekaran
I build the first usable version of the future. Then I write the playbook.
My operating system is simple: find the future that hasn't been named yet, build the first thing that works there, then write the story so others can join. Eleven years, a few different industries, always the same reflex. The AI era just made the cycles shorter.

What I've built

ORPHIC
Streaming killed the music visualizer I grew up losing whole evenings to. So I rebuilt it for the GPU era: seventeen live scenes, from slime molds to swarmalators, that react to whatever's already playing on your machine.

Speak Up Lab
I built the whole business, and now I teach in it too. Website, admin CMS, Stripe payments, outreach engine, five customer personas, plus the pitching sessions. Co-founded March 2026.

MacroMentor
I wanted to get healthy, so I used AI to read the nutrition literature and built the calculator I wished existed. Four BMR tiers, 43 tests. Personal trainers called it amazingly useful.

Passport Photo Maker
My partner couldn't pass a visa portal's photo check. I built the tool that fixed it. ICAO, USA, and Canada specs, 300 DPI, works offline, no uploads ever.

Pattern & Prediction
Rock-paper-scissors against an AI that learns you. It reads your tells over fifteen rounds, then shows you the pattern you swore you didn't have.

Stories for Aashi

About
The short version
I build the first usable version of things and turn them into stories, playbooks, and experiences others can join. Eleven years of the same pattern: VR life-insurance at MetLife before the category had a name, the first production LLM in regulated finance, seven solo builds shipped in the last sixteen months. Oxford MBA. Occidental College, Economics and Film.
