About Saumil Srivastava
AI consultant helping engineering leaders build reliable systems that drive business value.
My Story
With 15+ years in AI and machine learning, I've helped numerous companies implement high-value AI solutions. My journey progressed from AI research in emotion recognition to leading recommendation systems at Ibizsoft and developing AI systems for TurboTax at Intuit.
I later co-founded a startup as CTO, creating legal compliance solutions that secured funding and merged with Intuit, where I subsequently led AI automation platform development for accountants.
After seeing the same challenges arise across different organizations, I decided to focus on consulting to help engineering leaders build reliable AI systems that drive real business results.
My approach combines technical expertise with a deep understanding of business objectives. I believe that successful AI implementation requires not just good models, but also the right metrics, processes, and team capabilities.
