Founder-level ownership
Comfortable owning unclear problems, customer calls, product taste, backend code, and messy iteration.
Arvind Puthucode
Builder profile
I build useful AI products from messy ideas.
Product-minded engineer and founder, currently building ScoutFox as proof that I can take an unclear problem and turn it into something real people use.
I like the full loop: understand the user, build the system, ship it, hear where it breaks, and make it sharper.
Current Proof of Work
ScoutFox
A product that watches public sources and tells users when something important changed before it becomes obvious.
Now
- Building ScoutFox, a product that catches important web changes early
- Working with users across journalism, venture, research, and competitive intelligence
- Writing, demoing, and iterating in public around how people notice what matters
ScoutFox: know before it is news
ScoutFox monitors primary web sources, learns what normal looks like for a user's universe, and surfaces only the state changes that are worth acting on. The product is built for people who need early signal: journalists, analysts, investors, and competitive intelligence teams.
Business Today, Analytics India Magazine, and early-stage VC users
TinyFish accelerator; started during Lossfunk Jan-Feb 2026
It turns scattered public changes into early leads people can actually use
What this says about me: I can turn a vague market pain into a running product, talk to real users, ship across the stack, and keep tightening the system when the signal quality is not good enough.
Earlier Experiments

Early attempt at guided learning loops. Learned how hard behavior-change products are.
SignalNotNoise
Influencer marketing signal experiments that led to ScoutFox's sharper signal-detection thesis.
IntersecTX
Team hackathon build that shipped fast and won.
