About

From Fortune 100 engineering to 225K+ learners.

I've spent over two decades in enterprise technology — building cloud infrastructure, leading AI initiatives, and solving complex problems at Fortune 100 scale.

In 2023, I founded RuralBytesTamil because Tamil-speaking professionals were being left out of the AI wave. I wanted to bridge that gap — not with generic content, but with the same depth and rigour I bring to enterprise projects.

Today I split my time between enterprise consulting, 1-on-1 advisory, and teaching — everything I teach comes from what I ship, not theory.

What learners say.

"The 4 day session for AI code assistant was really a useful one for my project. During the weekend break I sat for 5 hrs and was able to install Claude CLI, setup Github, Firebase and rebuild my program, redesign to better context and deployed successfully. Now I have very confident that I can build any tools using AI coding tools, test and deploy them."

"Thank you very much for the wonderful 5 day AI Tools For Coders workshop! In myself, I can see a huge difference before and after the class on the usage of AI tools for a developer. Thank you very much for all your help!"

FAQ

Common questions.

Where should I start?

If you're new, start with the free content — the blog, YouTube, and the WhatsApp channel. When you're ready to build, take the workshop. If you want a plan specific to you or your team, book a 1-on-1 call.

Is the content in Tamil or English?

Both. I teach in Tamil with English technical terminology — you'll understand the concept and know the right industry terms.

Do you work with companies and teams?

Yes. I work with organizations on enterprise AI adoption — from strategy and tool selection to team upskilling and implementation support. Reach out at shahul@ruralbytestamil.com.
