Ayush Patil

19-year-old engineering dropout, passionate about how technology can solve real-world problems. I've built two products from scratch, picking up a solid grasp of B2B SaaS, ecommerce, and AI-powered search along the way. Also passionate about sales, where my love for technology meets my enthusiasm for understanding people, solving business pain points, and driving value through smart solutions.

When I'm not building, you'll find me getting thrown around on the mats doing Jiu-Jitsu and Muay Thai. Nothing like a good sparring session to keep things interesting.

Always open to connecting with like-minded folks to brainstorm ideas, discuss what's next in tech, and collaborate on projects that create real impact.

Projects

2026

Hybrid semantic search SaaS for media & entertainment and ecommerce platforms. Built end-to-end: hybrid BM25 + vector search, a JS widget, npm SDK, and REST API. Designed for non-technical operators: 30-minute integration, no developer needed.

Python · FastAPI · PostgreSQL · Redis · Celery · Next.js · OpenAI

Experience

Founder

2025 – 2026

Vishlyst started because I had screenshots everywhere, a discord channel filled with links, and a dozen open tabs with no way to keep track. So we built the fix: one place to save anything you want to buy and discover products based on your actual taste, not whoever paid the most to show up.

No long planning phases. Just saw something broken and decided to fix it.

Sales & Appointment Setting

2025

Handled outbound sales and appointment setting for a coding mentorship program. Engaged prospects, qualified leads, and drove enrollment conversations, sharpening how I think about understanding people, framing value, and closing.
