Hey, I'm Ayush.

I'm a financier turned vibe coder. I have a record of building regulated and scalable financial services platforms. I quit my career in finance and pivoted to building in AI.

At Zelo, I built a private credit fund from 0 to $1.2 Bn in AUM - built the business end to end: capital structure, products, processes, systems and a 50+ person team in a year's time. I structured $700Mn in debt from sovereign wealth funds & wall st, and built an asset pipeline of mid-market enterprises yielding 30% IRR with NPLs under 0.1%.

Before that, I was an engagement manager at Monitor Deloitte, inside a Big4 firm, building banks and supply chain finance programs for development funds. I've seen how professional services runs on email, spreadsheets and chaos.

I started as business hire #1 at baraka (YC S21): built the middle east's robinhood to 200k users in six months & raised $20m valar-led series A.

I'm now building abacus: the AI operating system for CPA firms & auditors.
