Saransh Ahuja

summary

Product-minded builder who owns products end to end. Founded and ran Zippex from 2024 to 2026, a consumer delivery marketplace that reached 5,000+ active users, owning the roadmap, the funnel, and the code: AI-driven pricing and routing shipped to production that cut costs 15% and lifted retention 20%, real-time tracking that improved delivery accuracy 30%, and a Stripe backend that ran 1,000+ transactions a month at 99.9% uptime. Junior Project Manager and AI Research Lead at UFV, IEEE-published at CAI 2023, and a Project Support Analyst on a 400+ branch M&A integration where auditability was not optional. Technical enough to read the API docs and the event payloads, product-minded enough to care why someone drops off at step three.
