Hey, I'm Ishraq Khan.

I’m a startup founder, currently building Kodezi, the AI CTO that autonomously manages your codebase.

I was born in Dhaka, Bangladesh and moved to the U.S. in 2011. That transition shaped how I think: adapt quickly, work independently, and build from first principles.

I taught myself English and started coding young. I began building products early and chose not to follow a traditional college path, focusing instead on learning by doing.

Today I’m building Kodezi, an autonomous operating system for codebases that acts as an AI CTO. It doesn’t autocomplete. It remembers, heals, evolves, and governs software across its lifecycle.

I’m also building in the music industry, working on software and infrastructure for artists and touring teams to reduce operational friction behind creative work.

Outside of building, I write about system design, engineering culture, and the psychology of creating technical systems.

If you’re building systems that last, in tech, music, or creative work, I’d love to connect.
