Rutvik Ghughal

AI product builder · Bangalore, India

From machine code to autonomous platforms.

I build AI-powered enterprise products end to end — discovery and strategy through launch and adoption — pairing hands-on AI and full-stack engineering with an MBA's product judgment.

01 · The Arc

Up the ladder of abstraction

Every builder has a range. Mine runs from hand-translated machine code to AI platforms that ship software on their own — and the spine below warms as the stack rises.

2015 · ASCII

Games in a terminal

Pacman and Hangman recreated as Java ASCII games. Where it starts: making a screen do something.

2019 · Machine code

Down to the metal

An assembler in C, translating assembly to machine code by hand. The bottom of the stack, understood from the inside.

2019 · Apps & devices

Software people touch

Campus systems at IIT Guwahati: an Android app for event management, a guest-house management system, an IoT e-rickshaw booking service.

2020 · Data & the web

Making machines legible

At GE Healthcare, a web micro-app visualizing machine logs dynamically. Plus a Chrome extension that watched services so humans didn't have to.

2017–2026 · Judgment

Engineering meets product

B.Tech CSE at IIT Guwahati, then an MBA at IIM Bangalore with an exchange at Audencia Nantes — and a Senior Manager role leading internal AI product development at Jindal Aluminium.

2026 · Autonomy

Platforms that build

Arvis: a self-hosted multi-agent AI platform that builds, ships and runs 10 live apps across 26 Docker services from natural-language commands.

Eleven years, one direction: up the stack — without losing touch with the bottom of it.

02 · Selected Work

Four systems, built end to end

AI-led products from 2026 — each one taken from idea through architecture, build, and live operation.

2026 · Platform

Arvis

A self-hosted multi-agent AI platform. Orchestrates AI agents to build, ship and run 10 live apps across 26 Docker services — driven by natural-language commands.

2026 · Multimodal AI

Nook Studio

Automates video-reel production end to end — raw footage to publish-ready — with multimodal understanding (Gemini, SigLIP) and an operator dashboard, running for a live D2C brand.

2026 · Product

arvis-jobs

An AI job-search platform: scores live roles against a candidate profile, auto-generates tailored résumés through a LaTeX pipeline, and enriches companies with salary and review data.

2026 · Retrieval

Recall Engine

Hybrid retrieval — full-text, semantic, and entity-aware — over thousands of notes and transcripts, so accumulated knowledge is never re-derived from scratch.

03 · Exhibits

Run the old work

Three pieces from the bottom of the stack, rebuilt to run in your browser. No install, no video — press a key and they actually execute.

04 · Product Case Studies

The strategy side, worked end to end

Segmentation, prioritization, PRDs, roadmaps and metrics — from an MBA at IIM Bangalore, an exchange term at Audencia Nantes, and company PM assignments. Coursework and assignments, labelled as such.

All six case studies
