Intro
I'm Raghuram Periaswamy, a Co-Founder at strivelabs.ai. My background is rooted in deep technical engineering, having spent years at Freshworks and Mesh building high-scale distributed systems and developer platforms. I’ve led major initiatives like the architectural design of the 'Freddy Copilot' AI assistant and large-scale infrastructure migrations that prioritized both performance and cost efficiency. Currently, I am focused on the intersection of AI agents and platform engineering. I am passionate about creating robust, scalable systems that improve developer experience and leverage the latest in generative AI. I enjoy connecting with others who are navigating the complexities of building AI-native infrastructure or scaling distributed systems. Whether you're looking to discuss architectural challenges, AI agent design, or simply want to exchange insights on the evolving tech landscape, I'm always open to a conversation.
