About

Alpesh Nakrani

Technologist and operator. Fourteen years building and selling software, from individual contributor to CTO, COO, and now CRO at Devlyn. I help companies go AI-Native, and I write, teach, and speak to think clearly about what that takes.

I spend my days where engineering meets revenue, which turns out to be the right vantage point for AI. The interesting questions are rarely purely technical or purely commercial, they are both at once, and most people only get to stand on one side of that line. I've spent a decade on each.

At Devlyn, an AI-Native engineering company, I'm the Chief Revenue Officer, which means I'm responsible for proving that the AI-Native thesis pays. My definition of that thesis is precise: the machine does the work, and the human evaluates. Nothing more comfortable than that.

This site is where I work the consequences out in public, in thirty-three books and a steady stream of blog posts on the blog. If something here is useful, or wrong, I'd like to hear about it.

01 / Trajectory

The path

Now

CRO at Devlyn

Chief Revenue Officer at Devlyn, an AI-Native engineering company, where engineering meets revenue, which is the right seat for AI.

10 years

A decade running both the technology and the operations of growing software companies, building the thing and building the org that ships it.

14+ years

Building & selling software

From individual contributor to the executive table. Long enough to have shipped through several hype cycles and learned which fundamentals don't move.

Ongoing

Author of 33 books

Books and blog posts on AI-Native engineering: evals, retrieval, inference economics, and the judgment economy underneath them.

In one line

AI does the work. The human evaluates. Everything else on this site is a footnote to that sentence.
