Summary

Prasad Kawthekar grew up in India, and eventually came stateside to school in Wisconsin. He took a java coding class, and was immediately hooked - which led to him pursuing computer science, focusing on artificial intelligence. He met his tribe during school, and stayed on for further academic experiences. Outside of tech, he lives in the Bay Area and enjoys being outside in nature. There was a time in his previous role that he was searching for info related to his role. After 7 email threads and 8 weeks passing, he finally located the document. This experience blew him away, and seeded the problem he now seeks to solve. This is the creation story of Dashworks.
