I’m Ankit Kumar, a product-first founder on a mission to reinvent how hiring works for job seekers and recruiters. As the founder and CEO of Hiron AI, I'm leading the creation of an AI-powered hiring ecosystem where candidates don't apply; they get discovered.

💡 Why Hiron AI?
Because resumes, job boards, and mass applications are outdated.
We’re building a future where talent is matched instantly, hiring is seamless, and every fresher or pro user gets a real shot at growth.

From building healthcare and education platforms to scaling AI-driven products, my work has always centered around solving real problems through clean, smart, and human-first tech.

🔧 My Core Strengths
 — Building AI-first B2B & B2C products from scratch
 — Leading cross-functional teams through execution and growth
 — Turning complex user problems into simple, elegant solutions
 — Staying deeply technical — Python, Cloud, ML, AI

🌱 Outside of building products
I teach. I share. I grow communities.
Helping new developers and product minds thrive is something I care deeply about.

⚽ Also, football is my second love. Strategy, speed, and teamwork — on and off the field.

🧠 Let’s build what the future needs, not what the past made popular.
Follow along as we shape the hiring world for 2035 — today.

📬 Feel free to connect, collaborate, or just say hi.
