Vishal Mahesh Kumar
AI Product Engineer · Germany

I build AI products, enterprise software and intelligent systems.

Engineering professional with 3+ years at Flexera, building enterprise integrations, REST/GraphQL APIs, and AI-assisted ServiceNow workflows. Currently pursuing an M.Sc. in Management & Engineering at RWTH Aachen, combining data analysis and strategic management with hands-on AI/LLM engineering to design intelligent enterprise platforms.

01About

Engineering. Enterprise. Management. Product. AI. Founder.

I'm an engineer with a track record of delivering complex enterprise integrations, rebuilding product architectures, and enabling customer success across global teams spanning the US, Europe, and APAC.

At Flexera, I led a 70% architecture overhaul that migrated ETL workloads to AWS and introduced a SMART API layer — reducing customer-facing load by 60% and cutting data processing overhead. I also prototyped AI-assisted ServiceNow workflows with MCP and the OpenAI API.

Beyond the engineering, I've always cared about the business impact of what I build. That curiosity led me to RWTH Aachen's Management & Engineering programme — and to founding Wolflayer, where I design, ship, and own a product end to end.

Flagship product

Wolflayer

Visit live ↗

An AI-native team workspace — chat, branching AI conversations, visual workflow automation, and embedded mini-apps in one canvas.

Branching AI conversations mapped as a tree — five nodes deep, each reply its own thread.
Collabo

Branching AI conversations mapped as a tree — five nodes deep, each reply its own thread.

Livewolflayer.app

Solo-built end-to-end: Google & GitHub OAuth, real-time messaging, WebRTC group voice calls, Gemini-powered AI features (BYOK), and a visual workflow builder that turns plain-language goals into runnable automation pipelines.

01

Problem

Teams scatter AI chat, automation, and mini-tools across a dozen disconnected apps.

02

Research

Studied branching-conversation UX and no-code workflow builders to find a single-canvas model.

03

Architecture

Next.js + Supabase real-time backend, Gemini for generation, WebRTC for voice, AES-256-GCM for stored credentials.

04

Challenges

Designing an infinite-canvas branching model that stays legible at depth, and sandboxing AI-generated mini-apps safely.

05

Solution

A workspace where conversations branch like a tree, workflows are generated from plain language, and mini-apps run sandboxed inside chat.

06

Impact

Shipped and live in production at wolflayer.app, with full OAuth, real-time infra, and end-to-end ownership of architecture and roadmap.

🌳

Collabo

Infinite-canvas AI conversations that branch — every reply can spawn a new thread with its own isolated context, plus a Tree mode for mapping heavily-branched discussions.

🧩

Collabo Space

Describe a goal in plain language and Gemini generates a runnable input → service → output workflow — the seed of a full team automation platform.

📦

Capsules

AI-generated, sandboxed mini-apps embedded directly in messages — describe a widget, iterate in a live preview, publish, and anyone can run it.

▶️

YouTube Integration

Attach a video and get AI-generated chapters and a dedicated chat thread that answers questions using the full transcript as context.

🎙️

Group Voice Calls

WebRTC voice calls for up to 10 participants per channel, with live speaking indicators and a persistent overlay that follows you across the app.

🔗

Integrations

GitHub repo attachments, Google Calendar & Meet scheduling, and AI chat summaries — connecting the workspace to the tools teams already use.

Formula Student

Ashwa Racing — Formula Student Hybrid

Vehicle Control Unit and telemetry for a championship-winning hybrid race car.

Conceived the Vehicle Control Unit (VCU) and Data Acquisition System (DAQ) for a hybrid Formula Student race car. Implemented the Texas Instruments CC1390 wireless MCU for real-time telemetry, and led the electrical and test subsystem, including recruiting and training new team members.
