AI Consulting · Colorado
I manage 4 retail stores, 50+ employees — and I built the AI systems that run them. Custom reporting agents, discount monitors, automated ordering, personal health AI. Not theory. Deployed. Working. Saving hours every week.
I can do the same for your business. And I'll teach you how it works so you're never dependent on anyone.
Real Deployments
These aren't demos. They run inside my businesses every single day.
Automated daily sales reporting across all 4 stores. Every manager gets a personalized margin report at 4AM — built from live POS data, zero manual effort. Weekly and monthly summaries auto-generated.
⟶ Hours of manual reporting eliminated dailyAI watches every discount and promotion applied across all locations in real time. Flags stacking abuse, catches over-discounting patterns, and surfaces the data every morning. Found $1,474 in waste in the first 2 weeks.
⟶ $1,474 recovered in first 14 daysReplaced chaotic multi-store ordering with QR codes per location → Google Form → automated weekly digest to management. Each store scans and submits. No calls, no emails, no confusion. Took one afternoon to build.
⟶ 4 stores, zero ordering chaosBuilt my own AI agent trained on 15 years of personal biomarker data — CGM, DEXA scans, bloodwork, HRV, genetics. It finds patterns no doctor ever caught. Built on Claude API with custom Python tooling. Personal use, documented publicly.

How We Work Together
No bloated proposals. No six-week discovery. I find the pain, build the fix, show you how it works.
60-minute working session. We map your biggest daily time-wasters. I've done this across retail ops, health tech, and product companies. I know exactly what to look for.
I take your top problem and build a custom AI solution for it. Not a template — built specifically for your workflow. You test it live, you see real results before you pay anything more.
Most consultants build a black box and disappear. I show you exactly how it works and how to extend it yourself. You walk away capable, not dependent. This is non-negotiable for me.
Optional ongoing support — keep the agent improving, add new automations, stay ahead of what AI can do. Less than one meeting a month of your time. Consistent ROI in yours.
Who This Is For
I work with a small number of clients at a time. Here's who gets the most out of this.
You've got a team, multiple moving parts, and way too many hours going into things that should be automated. You just don't know where AI actually fits.
You've seen the pitch decks. You want someone who's actually deployed this inside a business with real money on the line — not a YouTube demo.
You're the kind of operator who wants to own the knowledge. Not looking for a black box — looking for someone who teaches as they build.
The Operator Behind It
I'm Shankar Ramakrishnan — a Colorado-based wireless engineer with 20 years of experience who also runs a 4-location retail operation. I built the AI systems running inside my own businesses. Not hired a consultant. Built them myself, with real money on the line.
I also built IRIS, my personal health AI trained on 15 years of biomarker data, published Death by Biryani on Amazon, and ship consumer apps under ClarityLabz. I apply engineering discipline to every problem I touch.
Let's Connect
30 minutes. No hard sell. Just an honest conversation about what AI can do for your operation — from someone who's already done it.
