Ram Singh

Ram Singh

Ram is a technologist and operator who root-cause solves existential enterprise-scale business and product problems while attempting to *not* create entirely new ones. When not leading or consulting cross-functional product development teams in delivering simple, trusted, fun, and useful solutions that delight customers and deliver significant ROI, he’s usually in the guts of yet another startup idea to do the same. Or jeeping and camping with (The RDML Grace) Hopper, a dog. Childhood access to computers blended with classic sci-fi like Asimov’s R. Daneel Olivaw, Simak’s Jenkins, and Adams’ Marvin stories piqued an early study of AI and robotics that perpetuated throughout Ram’s professional career. Like many, he’s been exploring what these latest AI model offerings are *aktshually* good for. Ram also: Operates "id8 inc", his consulting business and innovation incubator; Is developing "coreograf", a federated context-engineering system to improve efficacy & outcomes when humans-and-generative-AI-models collaborate in the development of complex enterprise-scale software; Co-organizes the "Artificial Intelligencers" meetup group.
