# Rutu Patel > Co-Founder & CPO of Stealth AI Venture | Front-End Engineer | Driving AI Innovation | Technology Leader Location: San Francisco, California, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/rutupatel As the Founder and Chief Product Officer of a stealth startup, I am dedicated to innovating the applications of artificial intelligence and creating a nurturing ecosystem around it. My mission is to revolutionize how AI is applied across industries by fostering an environment of innovation and growth. In my role at our startup, I am responsible for bringing ideas to life, ensuring they meet customer needs and expectations, and defining application requirements. By day, I work as a Front-End Engineer at Pro-Tek Consulting to gain further hands-on knowledge within the industry and provide invaluable experience. This role allows me to deepen my expertise and stay at the forefront of industry developments, enhancing my ability to drive innovation in my own venture after hours. With a Bachelor of Computer Science from San Francisco State University, my journey has been defined by leadership, innovation, and a passion for technology. During my university years, I served as a mentor, assisting students with STEM-related subjects, and gained practical experience through a web development internship at the university. My enthusiasm for collaborative innovation led me to participate in multiple hackathons. Notably, at a UC Berkeley SkyDeck hackathon with 284 registered teams, my team ranked in the top 10%, developing VehiQ—a platform that converts 2D sketches of cars into 3D mesh models using deep learning and convolutional neural networks within 48 hours. I also led a project to create a LinkedIn-like platform connecting students with nearby recruiters, which secured the top rank in our course at the university. These experiences honed my expertise in leadership, management, and coding proficiency. I am open to networking and partnerships related to my venture.
