Chief Technology Officer, YashOrbit
Owning the technical bar every YashOrbit engagement is held to — architecture standards, engineering practice, and where the company places its bets on applied AI.
Tej Pratap Singh
Chief Technology Officer
Executive biography
Tej Pratap spent over a decade as a senior engineer and technical architect across product and services companies, working on systems that had to hold up under real production load rather than a demo environment. He led engineering teams through several periods of rapid scaling before moving into a dedicated technology leadership role.
He joined YashOrbit as Chief Technology Officer, where he sets engineering and architecture standards across every client engagement, and directs the technical roadmap for the company's applied AI practice.
Leadership overview
How Tej Pratap approaches leading engineering.
Architecture Reviews Are Non-negotiable
"Every engagement above a certain size gets an architecture review before a line of production code is written — it's cheaper to catch a bad decision on a whiteboard."
Boring Technology, Used Well
"I'd rather ship a proven stack executed cleanly than a trendy one executed carelessly. Novelty isn't a client requirement."
Engineers Should Own Outcomes, Not Just Tickets
"I want every engineer to understand why a feature matters to the client, not just what the ticket says to build."
AI Gets the Same Rigor as Everything Else
"A model in production carries the same reliability bar as any other system we ship — enthusiasm for AI doesn't lower that bar."
Areas of expertise
Technical Architecture & Systems Design

Achievements
A few of the milestones Tej Pratap has led at YashOrbit.
Established Company-wide Architecture Standards
Built the architecture review process now applied to every engagement above a defined complexity threshold.
Directed YashOrbit's Applied AI Technical Roadmap
Set the technical direction connecting the company's generative AI, agentic AI, and computer vision work into a coherent engineering practice.
Built the Engineering Hiring Bar
Designed the technical interview process and standards used to hire across every engineering discipline.
Vision
I want YashOrbit's engineering reputation to rest on reliability first — code that holds up under real production conditions, architecture that scales past the first version, and AI systems held to the same bar as everything else we ship. Being early on new technology only matters if what we build with it actually works.
“A client should never be able to tell which parts of a system were built under deadline pressure. If our architecture and review process are doing their job, the engineering just quietly works.”
