Hey There!

I'm Gautham.

I'm a co-founder at Kaaro - the AI workforce for rail.

Before that, I was a founding engineer at Toma (YC W24), which I dropped out of my first year at UBC to join.

I grew up in Canada, but now based in SF - if you're around, always down for a badminton rally, a game of smash, or just a coffee :)

KickStart '25

Ran a one-week startup sprint competition at UBC called KickStart by UBC BizTech. Led an executive team of 45+ people, with 120+ attendees. Definitely the most fun thing I did in my one year in university :)
