About me

Manu Ajith - Technology Executive & Entrepreneur
Manu Ajith - Technology Executive & Entrepreneur

I've spent the last 14 years building distributed systems and scaling startups. I was a founder/CTO twice, working across logistics, SEO analytics, and now AI infrastructure. These days I focus on production AI systems: running inference clusters, fine-tuning models, and the evaluation pipelines that catch issues before users do.

Technology Leadership


AI/ML Infrastructure: Production LLM systems at scale, from self-hosted inference clusters to evaluation frameworks. I work across Elixir, Rust, Go, and Ruby, and maintain the Langfuse Elixir client for observability.

Scaling Startups: I specialize in guiding ventures through critical growth phases, establishing strong engineering teams and robust, scalable technical foundations. My experience spans AI/ML platforms, enterprise SaaS, and complex distributed systems.

Bridging Tech & Business: I excel at translating technical vision into tangible business results through effective strategy, achieving product-market fit, and building the right partnerships. Having navigated the challenges of venture-backed startups, I build technology organizations focused on creating real, measurable value.

Nomadic Life


When I'm not building tech, I'm exploring the world. 40 countries and counting - that's about 20% of the globe. This nomadic lifestyle keeps me thinking globally while building locally. Read more at my-nomadic.life.
