Anoop Santhanam
@anoopsanthanam
I build AI-powered platforms, mobile apps, and scalable products from the ground up.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I've built software products end-to-end across AI, talent marketplaces, healthcare, construction, hospitality, finance, e-commerce, and mobile. Most recently, I've worked as a Forward Deployed Engineer at Aurora Designs and previously as Principal Engineer at Fearn Co.
I built Maison de Medusa's complete operational software surface solo, including its public site, AI-powered member portal, inventory and staff administration, and WhatsApp/Meta-connected marketing tools. I also designed and built OnlyJobs, an AI job-matching platform that scrapes more than 30 sources daily, and OnlyMoney, a self-hosted personal AI finance system.
I've led teams at Andela, Players' Lounge, and Dashpivot, owned a revenue-driving Players' Lounge product line generating $80K per day, and founded Binox, where I built an internet operating system and related products solo. Binox's peer-to-peer delivery service was acquired by a Google-funded company after five years.
