Portrait of Sanyam Arya

Leading & shaping product, tech & teams.

About

10+ years · Now: AI-native

Ten-plus years building B2B and SaaS software for industries that can't afford downtime: industrial automation and IoT. Lately I've been restructuring the code itself so Copilot and Claude can work in it as well as I can.

// based_in

  • Berlin, Germany
  • Valid EU work permit
  • English, Hindi, German (still learning)
  • now: wiring Claude into every workflow that'll hold still
  • next: codebases an agent can navigate
  • always: shipping things that don't need a postmortem
