Hi, I'm Ashish.
I build AI‑powered
products.
Software engineer, AI tinkerer, and founder of Solvbit. I write about building real AI systems — the parts that actually work in production, and the parts that don't.

Selected projects
A mix of client work and personal experiments. All of it shipped.
Pantry — AI Household Inventory
A Claude-powered agent that recognizes pantry items from photos, categorizes them, tracks stock levels, and answers questions like "what can I cook tonight?" Built with FastAPI, React Native, and a multi-step tool-use loop.
Solvbit — AI Consulting
My consulting firm helping companies design, build, and deploy AI systems. Marketing site built as a static site on nginx + Docker.
ITSM Platform Prototype
Enterprise IT service management platform prototype — Next.js + Tailwind, designed for internal tooling teams.
