Leela Kishore — Founder

Leela Kishore

Founder & Engineering Lead

Leela Kishore founded Snurkz to solve a practical gap in the market: many AI teams demo well, but few deliver dependable systems in production. With 7+ years across SaaS and enterprise engineering, he brings product discipline, QA rigor, and delivery focus to every build.

He leads Snurkz from architecture to launch — combining voice AI, RAG copilots, and automation workflows with testing, observability, and CI guardrails. The result is founder-led execution US teams can trust when outcomes matter.
