Alpesh Nakrani
Technologist and operator. Fourteen years building and selling software, from individual contributor to CTO and COO. 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.
My work connects engineering decisions with business outcomes. I care about 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 the 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.
The path
Author & operator
Writing, advising, and building around AI-Native engineering, where technical decisions meet business outcomes.
CTO & COO
A decade running both the technology and the operations of growing software companies, building the thing and building the org that ships it.
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.
Author, AI-Native engineering
Books and blog posts on AI-Native engineering: evals, retrieval, inference economics, and the judgment economy underneath them.
AI does the work. The human evaluates. Everything else on this site is a footnote to that sentence.
