What's Pabbin

Builder, founder,
self-appointed coffee SME.

Suraj Pabba operates at the intersection of AI, data, and the stubborn belief that software should actually work for the people using it.

Over a decade across KPMG, Salesforce, iManage, and CNA Insurance has produced one recurring observation: the gap between what data systems can do and what end users experience is almost always a design problem, not a technology problem.

He's shipped production AI at startups, sold enterprise SaaS to Fortune 500s, and co-founded InField AI out of the Antler accelerator. These days he consults on data management strategy at CNA while quietly building his next chapter in home services.

Automation Generalist

Across manufacturing, energy, and insurance, I've built source-to-surface automations that put the right data in front of the right person — not just technically correct, but designed around how that persona actually works. The pipeline is table stakes; the UX of the handoff is the product.

Job Digest AI

A daily email digest that finds Forward Deployed Engineer roles matching your background and adds a one-liner on why your specific experience is a fit. Powered by the Anthropic API and Gmail MCP. Built in a weekend because the problem was real.
