About

Rohith Namboothiri

I'm a product person who ships the code, and a founder who reads the research.

Thirteen years, three companies, half a dozen domains. I started in personal-safety tech. Then spent a decade on an educator-centric platform that reached 85,000+ learners across 35+ countries. These days I lead AI and Innovation at Ting Works, where I am architecting the intelligence layer that quietly runs the company.

I am drawn to the boring problems behind every AI demo. Authorization, provenance, hallucination in long contexts, what happens when an agent picks up the wrong genre and starts sounding confident. I file patents about them, publish on them, then ship systems that work around them.

Four practices

i.Architect

Design AI systems end-to-end: ingestion, inference, retrieval, governance. ATOM is the current canvas.

ii.Founder

Two companies from zero. One scaled globally and wrapped its chapter; one taught me what not to ship.

iii.Researcher

Patent pending on provenance-chained RAG. Papers on authorization, ghost context, genre lock-in.

iv.Writer

Authoring a book about AI that takes people more seriously, not less.
