Hi, I'm Raisul Chowdhury, a data scientist and product builder in San Francisco.

I grew up in Dhaka, moved to Toronto in my twenties, did an MBA at Kellogg, and have been in California with my wife and son ever since. Before Google, I helped grow StackAdapt from 70 to 1,000 people. And way before that, product and growth across digital platforms in emerging markets.

My titles changed over time, but the work I do stayed the same: understand the user, find the gap, ship it, learn, ship again.

These days I build AI products at Google and write about where the machines end and we begin. The bet underneath: AI that makes the person using it sharper, not smaller. I don't know if it's right yet. I'm building toward it.

When I'm not working, I'm usually at the park with my son, making waffles, or sitting with music and chai thinking about what comes next.
