Meet The Builder: Why I'm In for Cohort 3

Mahajan Ashok, an AI product engineer and freelance full-stack developer based in Hyderabad, is joining Cohort 3 of the 'Accelerate AI with Cloud Run' program. Ashok, who runs Mahajan IT Solution and has built production systems for clients using React, Next.js, and AWS, aims to deepen his expertise in multi-agent orchestration and Cloud Run patterns for AI workloads. He plans to apply these skills to his freelance projects and connect with other builders in the APAC region.

I'm Mahajan Ashok — AI Product Engineer, freelance full-stack dev, based out of Hyderabad. Fresh B.Tech CSE Data Science grad from TKR College, currently running my own freelance thing, Mahajan IT Solution, while job hunting on the side. Quick backstory Last year or so I've been building real stuff for real clients — not tutorials, actual production systems. Relicus wellness/learning platform, live video + payments , a multi-vendor marketplace on native AWS, a few e-commerce builds, and an automation pipeline that posts to LinkedIn on autopilot with a human-approval step baked in. Stack's mostly React, Next.js, NestJS, FastAPI, MongoDB, Supabase, AWS. Picked up ~20 certs along the way too, including Oracle OCI GenAI Professional and Salesforce Agentforce Specialist. Honestly what I keep gravitating toward is AI that does things, not just chats — agents wired into real tools and real data, actually moving work forward. Why Cohort 3 "Accelerate AI with Cloud Run" is exactly my kind of learning — build-first, not another set of disconnected tutorials. One coffee shop, three labs, growing the whole time: personalized customer experience → location intelligence for expansion → automating ops to run leaner. All shipped on Cloud Run with Gemini, ADK, multi-agent orchestration. That's basically how I work with freelance clients too — ship an MVP, layer in the intelligence, then optimize once it's actually running. Getting to do that on Google Cloud's AI-native stack, and learn how production multi-agent systems are actually supposed to be deployed, is exactly where I want to level up next. What I'm here for Actually understanding multi-agent orchestration, not just single-agent chatbots Cloud Run patterns for AI workloads at scale Taking what I learn straight into my own freelance/personal projects Meeting other builders across APAC grinding on the same problems Let's build.
