Avinash Jain

Hey there! I'm Avi. I graduated from UC Berkeley in 2022 and I currently live in NYC.

I'm an engineer by trade and an entrepreneur at heart. I'm currently on a sabbatical, exploring and thinking about what I want to do next.

Part of that exploration has me revisiting my roots in the content creation space. As an online educator myself who burned out in the process of recording videos, I'm excited to explore how AI and automation can make the creation process more efficient and re-purpose existing content.

In the meantime, I've gotten to appreciate living in the moment. Running, lifting, reading, spending time with friends - taking in everything that New York has to offer. I'd argue, there's no better city to be funemployed in.

If something catches your eye or you just want to connect, I'm always down for a coffee (or run). Plantshed at 12th and 2nd is calling our names.
