Rushil Shah

I build AI-native products and full-stack systems — turning ambitious ideas into reliable software, from architecture and prototyping through production.

Index

I’m an AI product builder and software engineer focused on the point where models, product decisions and real users meet. I work across agentic systems, multimodal interfaces, data pipelines and full-stack applications.

I’m currently studying Robotics Engineering at UC Santa Cruz while working part-time as a software engineer at Noyce↗. I also run Webform, a web design and development studio serving ten paying clients.

I move quickly, but I care about the decisions underneath the speed: clear system boundaries, thoughtful product tradeoffs and software that holds up outside a demo. AI-assisted development is part of my workflow, not a substitute for engineering judgment.

Selected work

Toury↗

Multimodal travel intelligence · founder & engineer

A location-aware AI travel companion that understands where users are, what they see and what they want to do. Toury brings voice, camera, live location and trip planning into one continuous experience across phone and mobile.

  • Node.js
  • Supabase
  1. ▸

    Designed the system across realtime AI, telephony, mobile, vision and location-aware context, with a shared product experience rather than disconnected demos.

  2. ▸

    Built a live location pipeline that keeps the model grounded in a user’s surroundings throughout a conversation.

  3. ▸

    Reworked the sensing and narration loops to eliminate a 150–200m position lag without making responses feel slower.

  4. ▸

    Created layered memory for durable preferences, trip history and fresh session context while keeping prompts focused and predictable.

  5. ▸

    Built toward a single assistant that can explain what is nearby, understand the camera and coordinate the next step of a trip.

Navinta AI↗

AI video production platform · founder & sole engineer

An AI-directed production system that turns an idea and raw footage into polished short-form video. Navinta combines planning, recording, editing and rendering in one workflow built for creators who need quality without a full production team.

  • React 19
  • Express 5
  • Drizzle
  • BullMQ + Redis
  • Remotion
  • FFmpeg
  1. ▸

    Owned the product from architecture and interface design through AI orchestration, rendering infrastructure and private beta.

  2. ▸

    Engineered a coordinated media pipeline for transcription, shot planning, generated b‑roll, voice and final composition.

  3. ▸

    Built an asynchronous render system with BullMQ and Redis so computationally heavy jobs remain reliable without blocking the editing experience.

  4. ▸

    Moved interactive previewing to HTML5 video and canvas for responsive scrubbing while keeping Remotion and FFmpeg for final-quality output.

  5. ▸

    Designed the editor around intent: creators can shape pacing, captions and visual direction without managing a traditional timeline frame by frame.

Webform

Web design agency · founder & engineer · 10 paying clients

Design‑and‑build studio for small businesses. Client discovery, design, build, deploy and ongoing maintenance — all of it mine.

  • Next.js
  • React
  • Tailwind
  • Vercel
  1. ▸

    Ship fast, conversion‑focused marketing sites for contractors, realtors and local service businesses.

  2. ▸

    Own the full delivery pipeline — design, responsive build, copy support, hosting, domains and post‑launch changes.

  3. ▸

    A repeatable stack turns a new client site around quickly without giving up quality.
