Lakshya Bakshi

Exited AI Founder,
Hardcore Engineering & Product Brain

Duke grad with degrees in Electrical & Computer Engineering, Computer Science, and Chemistry. Cut my teeth on Nike's global clickstream data pipelines, then founded an EdTech startup right as the LLM wave was building—and sold it. Now I'm a forward-deployed advisor for startup founders and bandwidth-constrained orgs who hear about AI but need help actually leveraging it.
