My Story
Plot twists, headsets, and the road to building AI.
Hey, I’m Shubham.
Head of Product @ neoflo.ai
It started with a dream to build the next Uncharted.
2015 - I enrolled in a game development program convinced I'd be the next Naughty Dog. Four years later, I'd tried everything - 3D modeling, animation, shaders, game design. But code? Code stuck.

2015 - The Dream
2015 - The Dream
I enrolled for bachelors in a game development convinced I'd be the next Naughty Dog.
I didn't just love games - I loved everything. Design, 3D modeling, animation, shaders. But code? That one stuck. Four years and twelve internships later, I graduated with a realization: code wasn't just a skill - it was a superpower.
Then I put on a HoloLens. And everything changed.

2018 - The Tony Stark Moment
Mixed reality was barely a thing. Five minutes in, I was manipulating holograms with my hands, building interfaces in mid-air. I felt like Tony Stark. Not the billionaire part - the "holy shit, this is the future" part.
At AfterNow, I helped build AN-Prez - imagine if JARVIS and Miro had a baby. Multiplayer presentations in 3D space. Sticky notes you could toss across continents.
We shipped sci-fi.

2020 - Teaching Machines to think
Somewhere along the way, I stopped asking "how do we build this?" and started asking "why are we building this?"
I joined Avataar as an Associate PM. Five years later, I was leading AI products.
The highlight? The Agentic AI Platform - a system of AI agents built for healthcare enterprises. Not chatbots. Not copilots. Digital teammates that could coordinate across systems, make decisions, and actually get things done.
I also shipped Velocity - AI-powered video creation at scale. Two products.
One realization: I like building things that don't exist yet.

2025 - The Next Bet
Games → VR → Mixed Reality → Healthcare → and now... Finance?
Turns out the CFO tech stack is a mess. Invoices pile up. Reconciliations break. Expense approvals disappear into email hell. Nobody's solved it because it's boring.
That's exactly why I'm here.
At Neoflo.ai, I'm building AI that actually does the work - not just summarizes it. Accounts payable. Expense management. Reconciliation. The workflows that bury finance teams.
Same pattern. Find the chaos. Build the future.

The pattern
I keep finding myself at the edge of what's possible, building things before they're obvious. HoloLens in 2018. Agentic AI in 2020. CFO automation in 2025.
It's a habit now.
I came up as a developer - so I still write code, debug models at 2am, and argue with LLMs about why they're hallucinating. Old habits die hard.
That's probably why I don't just manage products. I build them.

Beyond the Roadmaps
When I'm not shipping AI, I'm probably freezing on a snow trek somewhere in the Himalayas. It's my way of clearing the head - turns out the best way to think is to stop thinking.
I'm also building Memoria on the side - my attempt to give AI actual memory. Because irony.
And yes, I run on mass amounts of coffee.
