Hi, I’m Rinkesh.
I’m a founder and product builder.
I’ve built and led products across healthcare, learning, and consumer tools. Sometimes as startups. Sometimes as smaller experiments.
Most of my work has involved taking vague problems, turning them into usable products, and iterating closely with real users.
I like being hands-on with product thinking, structure, and execution — especially early on, when things are still messy and undefined.
Right now, I’m focused on building and experimenting.
I’m spending time on small, focused products — mostly around decision-making, recommendations, and personal utility. I’m also exploring how AI tools fit into real workflows, beyond demos and surface-level use cases.
I write occasionally, usually while working through ideas or documenting things I’m building.
Some of the main things I’ve built or led:
Savior
Founder · 2017–2020
Savior was a healthcare software product used by hospitals for operations and preventive-care workflows. I worked directly with hospital teams and owned the product end-to-end — problem discovery, feature design, shipping, onboarding, and improving adoption over time. The company was later acquired by Zocdoc.
Career Leap
Founder · 2021–2023
Career Leap was a community-first learning platform focused on workplace and soft skills for tech professionals. I built the product and community from scratch, ran cohorts, tested different formats, and handled everything from curriculum design to engagement mechanics. We eventually shut it down when scaling no longer made sense, but it was a meaningful chapter.
Smaller, ongoing experiments I’m building alongside my main work:
Recommend
A product experiment around trust-based recommendations — for food, travel, and tools. The focus is on building something simple, personal, and easy to maintain, without relying on feeds or heavy algorithms.
VetVault
An early-stage experiment in the pet-care space, exploring problems around pet health records, continuity of care, and fragmented information — starting small and seeing where simple, well-scoped tools can help.
A small, informal collection of things outside work — moments, interests, and objects that I spend time around.
