Priyanshu Shukla
@priyanshushukla1
R&D Chef and food product developer bridging culinary formulation with machine-executable product development.
What I'm looking for
I’m an R&D Chef and food product developer with a hospitality and FMCG foundation, now focused on IoT food technology. I bridge culinary formulation with hardware/software engineering to deliver end-to-end products—from R&D through production release.
In my current role, I develop and optimise JSON-based recipes for Rotimatic, translating complex culinary processes into machine-executable parameters. I collaborate across Engineering, Product, Firmware, QA, and Customer Support, and lead recipe, firmware, and hardware testing, root-cause analysis, UAT, and release validation to improve performance and recipe consistency.
I also turn insights into action through customer feedback analysis and analytics-driven improvements, including escalations and operational dashboards. Beyond recipes, I’ve supported AI initiatives (chatbot workflows, CRM knowledge base, and vision-based roti detection logic), accessory & hardware innovation, and clean-label sauce development, while authoring SOPs and designing training for cross-functional teams.
