Portrait of Aveek Patra

Hi, I'm Aveek.

I'm an engineer with an artist's heart, and I love the whole of building a product. AI and automation are the tools I reach for first.

Right now all of that goes into Aturno, which I co-founded in October 2025 with Martin Slavik, our CEO, and where I'm the CTO. We build AI agents for Czech and EU law that research, draft and carry legal work from start to finish. I built the retrieval that searches legislation, case law and EU sources, the agents that research and draft, and the engine that connects them. I designed the interface for lawyers who have every reason to distrust software, and I own security, infrastructure and system design.

Alongside Aturno I work as an AI engineer at Atollon, building agent pipelines and RAG over CRM data, mostly in Python and Go. In my own time I build tools in the open, like Speek, a voice assistant for macOS that lives in the notch.

How I build

To me it's one piece of work.

Who it's for

01

Figuring out who it's for. Planning it. Finding the first people who'll use it.

Their journey

02

Walking through every step of their journey and noticing where it feels wrong.

Every layer

03

Then building every layer: the interface, the frontend, the system logic and the backend it all runs on.

What I aim for

I'm heavily inspired by Jony Ive's design philosophy. The hard work should disappear, and what's left should feel simple, even obvious.
