Hi, I’m Devadutta.
I build products. Lately, agentic AI systems that do real work.
About
I’ve spent most of my career building video infrastructure: graphics drivers at Intel, the Intel Video Transcode Service (which I founded and turned into a real business), then CTO of Live Planet and Principal Architect of the VideoCoin Network. Somewhere along the way I collected a few patents, an MBA from Berkeley Haas, and an MS from Stony Brook.
These days I’m co-founder and CTO of ngram, where we’re teaching AI agents to make videos. Hand it an idea, a URL, a doc, or a demo, and it plans the storyboard, writes the script, generates the scenes, adds the voiceover, and ships a finished cut.
When I’m not doing that, I’m scratching my own itches: small tools with no subscriptions attached.

I like building things
My itch-scratch shelf is long: a pomodoro timer, a Stockfish web UI, a Chrome extension that makes Amazon search simpler, a link shortener in about 10 lines of code. Small things, built to be used.
