About Me

Hey, I'm Rishi. I'm a student at UT Austin studying Finance, Philosophy, and CS. Most recently I worked on growth and ops at Asari, an Accel-backed startup building infrastructure around MCP.

Previously, I interned at JPMorgan, where I built anomaly detection pipelines and vendor classification models. I also help lead Genesis UT, UT Austin's student-run venture fund with $2M+ AUM, serving as Chief of Staff, and Dorm Room Fund, where I help lead the SF/West Coast team backing student founders in the Bay.

I spend a lot of time thinking about AI infrastructure, design, and new ideas at the intersection of technology, media, and venture. Some of my projects include Sable (memory governance for AI agents) and explorations in AI licensing, media IP, and developer tools.

Outside of school and startups, I write about film and media, moderate panels, and love conversations about design, strategy, and the future of technology.

I’m currently exploring opportunities in product management, growth engineering, business operations, or strategy within tech! Please feel free to reach out at rishis@utexas.edu.
