Build real-time AI products that work beyond the demo.
HackerTank helps founders and technical teams design, fix, and ship voice AI, WebRTC, video, agentic AI, and developer-platform products.
Work directly with a product and technical leader who has shipped real-time systems across more than 20 million devices.
Complex problems at the boundary of media, AI, and product.
Real-time systems that feel slow or unreliable
Diagnose latency, turn-taking, barge-in, telephony, WebRTC, media quality, streaming, and production reliability problems.
AI prototypes that need to become products
Design agent workflows, model and tool integrations, MCP systems, evaluations, observability, and human-in-the-loop experiences.
Developer platforms that are difficult to adopt
Improve API and SDK strategy, reference applications, onboarding, packaging, pricing, and platform positioning.
Built in environments where reliability and adoption matter.
Real-time networking and streaming infrastructure shipped at consumer scale.
Real-time networking, connectivity, and media systems.
Programmable video and AI products that generated meaningful revenue and developer adoption.
At Vonage and TokBox, Vikram led products across programmable video, WebRTC, AI media capabilities, APIs, SDKs, cloud infrastructure, and developer experience. More recently, he has been building agentic AI systems using LangGraph, MCP, retrieval, evaluations, and enterprise integrations.
Senior product judgment with technical depth.
I have spent more than 15 years building products across real-time communication, networking, programmable video, cloud infrastructure, developer platforms, and AI.
My experience spans deep technical systems and commercial product leadership — from real-time connectivity across millions of devices to enterprise video APIs, AI media features, developer experience, and agentic AI systems.
I am most useful when a problem does not fit neatly inside one function: when architecture affects product strategy, latency affects user trust, or developer experience determines whether a platform succeeds.
Bring the problem your team cannot afford to get wrong.
Book a free 30-minute consultation to discuss your RTC, voice AI, video, agentic AI, API, or developer-platform challenge directly with Vikram.
The initial consultation is intended to clarify the problem and identify the best next step. Detailed audits, architecture documents, and implementation plans are separate engagements.
