vishesh@mac ~ % whoami5x founder. Hands-on CTO for 17+ years — still shipping production code daily. Building Neo because my wrists gave out. Turned out a lot of people have the same problem: voice-first computer control with secure, on-device AI. Previously co-founder & CTO at Vamstar (healthtech, $11M+ raised, exited 2024).
