About

My name is Satyajeet Deshmukh. Everyone calls me Ray.

Ray

I see myself as a thinker and a craftsman. I work out what's worth building, then build it properly and ship it.

I build software, products and companies. Right now I'm focused on voice, AI and personal software, through my company, The Final Leap.

I work across product, engineering and execution. I use AI coding agents as part of how I build, and I stay hands on with product decisions, architecture, testing and shipping.

Based in India.

How I work

  • Plan first.
  • Investigate before building.
  • Verify against production.
  • Make decisions explicit.
  • Build in small stages.
  • Use AI coding agents as force multipliers.
  • Ship real products.
  • Kill projects when the evidence says stop.
  • Keep claims in line with what actually ships.
