JITESH RAO
Engineer's hands. Product brain.
Hi, I'm Jitesh!
Engineering × Product
I sit between the customer and the code — finding the problem that actually matters, then building and shipping what fixes it.
Open to Forward Deployed Engineer & PM roles. Full profile and résumé
I'm Jitesh — an engineer who likes being
in the room with the people
who'll use what I build.
I spent over two years at Urban Millets,
growing from System Engineer to Senior,
then moved into product at Bristlecone
and AI strategy at AIKYA. Now I'm finishing
my M.S. in Industrial & Systems Engineering at Rutgers.
Next, I want to do that full-time as a
Forward Deployed Engineer or Product Manager:
close to customers, owning the problem end to end.
