About

I'm Poorajith S.T., currently serving as an Infrastructure & Technical Project Manager at WPI and the Co-Founder of MintGrid. My career has been defined by a 'builder' mindset—I don't just manage projects; I dive into the technical DNA of what we're creating. From leading $350K product launches to automating compliance workflows using RAG technology, I bridge the gap between high-level strategy and hands-on execution. I'm deeply passionate about Free and Open-Source Software (FOSS) and am currently focused on building an AI-driven geospatial platform for property intelligence. I love discussing agentic architectures, technical PM methodologies, and how we can use AI to make project management more efficient. Whether you're into AI innovation or community-driven development, I'm always happy to share insights on automation and technical delivery.
