I run Kitalon Labs, a small product studio in Dhaka building software for global markets. Sixteen products shipped so far across SaaS, open source, browser extensions, and Android — most of them solo or close to it.
I spent twelve years building products before LLMs were any good at this. Now I build with them.
GovProcurementAI is where most of my attention goes. It reads US government RFPs and checks proposals against them, line by line. The US procurement market is roughly $80B and most of the compliance work is still done by hand — that's the gap. This is the product I'm taking through YC (S26).
A few others I'm actively shipping:
- Restaurant Phone AI — a voice agent that answers the phone and takes orders around the clock, wired into the POS.
- Covena — keeps tabs on EU e-commerce regulation (DSA, GPSR, and the rest) so sellers don't have to track it by hand.
- ReconcileAI — bank reconciliation on top of Plaid. Still in design-partner mode while I work out where it earns its keep.
Things I build mostly because I want them to exist:
- Aether — a type-safe language for orchestrating LLMs, with DAG-based execution. Rust, Axum, Tokio.
- NFTicket Protocol — event ticketing that's hard to scalp. TypeScript, Solidity, Hardhat.
- RWA-Studio — tokenize a real-world asset in about five clicks. Solidity, OpenZeppelin.
- zkIPFS-Proof — zero-knowledge proofs for keeping IPFS data private. Rust, on the Risc0 zkVM.
Small tools that live inside someone else's workflow:
- QuoteSweep — pre-fills five commercial P&C insurance portals from a single risk profile. WXT, React 19, Cloudflare Workers, Neon.
- POA Architect — walks Amazon sellers through reinstatement appeals.
- OneReply — drafts email replies inside Gmail.
- JobSafe — flags job scams on LinkedIn, Indeed, and Glassdoor.
Four Android apps in the store — photo editing, unit conversions, subscription tracking, document scanning. All Kotlin, Jetpack Compose, Hilt, Room.
Python, TypeScript, Rust, Kotlin, Solidity, C#, SQL. FastAPI and NestJS on the backend, Next.js 15 and React 19 up front. Postgres (usually Neon, with Drizzle), plus Redis and SQLite. LangChain and the usual model APIs — OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini — and on-device inference with MediaPipe, TFLite, and ONNX when something needs to run locally.
- Interim CEO at Uddom (Oak Network), an a16z-backed Kickstarter subsidiary — since May 2025.
- AI & technology consultant at LEAD Academy — fundraising, partnerships, and AI integration. I've written white papers on AI adoption across Bangladeshi government ministries, and co-authored one on stablecoin infrastructure for Bangladesh.
- Voice2Policy (2024–25) — a paid engagement building civic-tech AI for federal policy analysis. Fine-tuned deBERTa-v2 on SageMaker; shipped on NestJS and Next.js.
A few things from the pre-AI years I'm still proud of:
- Built PODOKKHEP, Bangladesh's first fully custom digital classroom, at REAPRA-backed Venturas. Comprehension scores went up about 25%.
- Launched JANO KI, a learning app that reached 10,000+ students across 70 institutions.
- Ran the Pulselinks ERP account at IMpulse — cut deployment time by 60 days and grew outbound sales 330%.
- Co-founded Enlightli, which took first at the 2015 PCH Toronto hardware hackathon (write-ups in BetaKit and BrainStation).
- AIPMM Certified Product Manager, 2017.
