Biography

Shipping models where the network doesn't reach

Adeel Ahmad is Co-Founder & CFO of Arush Labs and a B.Tech Artificial Intelligence student at Vision Institute of Technology (AKTU), Kanpur. He learns best by shipping — hackathon builds, open-source contributions and small production-grade modules — with recent work sitting at the intersection of on-device machine learning and backend systems: squeezing models onto phones with no internet, and wiring up async pipelines that feed larger agent systems. Alongside his degree, he co-founded Arush Labs, where he cares about the unglamorous parts — model size budgets, rate limits, data normalization — because that's usually where a demo turns into something that actually works. He's also a contributor at FURY AI and a HackIITK 2026 participant.
