Meet the founders
ProtoFlow is built by two engineers who got fed up with bad EDA tooling and decided to fix it themselves.
Rishik Boddeti
Rishik Boddeti is the technical lead at ProtoFlow, driving the product's core architecture. His background includes designing custom low-noise PCBs for cerebral blood-flow imaging at a UT Austin research lab and building a global cognitive screening app deployed in over 80 countries. He is pursuing an electrical and computer engineering degree at UT Austin and has leveraged his technical background to create ProtoFlow, and help it eliminate the friction in hardware design. When he isn’t developing the platform, he enjoys chilling with friends and developing video games.
Ayden Fisher
Ayden Fisher is the business and operations lead at ProtoFlow. Previously, he managed custom database models and financial tracking systems for a large-scale family business serving thousands of students. As a Finance major at UT Austin, he is focused on scaling ProtoFlow and turning it into a seamless, two-sided marketplace for engineering design. Outside of the business, he enjoys spending his time reading and vibing to The Weeknd.
