Why I Built AixonAI
Here's my story. No sugarcoating, no pitch, just the truth.
From Freelancer to Founder
I've been freelancing since 2008. Built a company. Hired over 50 people. Rode the highs, survived the lows. In 2021, I landed a great role with an USD 80,000 CTC, not just the paycheck, but the kind of validation that says, "You made it."
When Life Interrupted
Then life did what it does sometimes, threw a curveball I didn't see coming. A personal situation needed my full attention, and I did what I had to do, even if it meant walking away from a job I loved. I was working as a senior developer for a US-based company, mostly in WordPress. But when I came back up for air and tried to get back in the game... everything had changed.
The Industry Had Moved On
AI was everywhere. Tech had evolved. I was 42, with 17+ years of experience, not junior enough to fit developer boxes, not corporate enough for VP roles. I was floating in the middle, with nowhere to land.
Relearning and Restarting
So I started learning again. Brushed up on new tools. Dug into AI. And kept applying. Ten, twenty applications a day, with the same resume, same silence.
The System Was Broken! Not Me..
While working with ChatGPT, I realized it wasn't me, it was the system. I began tailoring my resume for each job, adjusting keywords, mirroring the language. It was slow, but once I cracked the prompt to speed it up, everything changed. Calls came in. Interviews happened. I finally landed a role at a high-tech company.
Helping Others Made It Clear
I used those same prompts to help a few friends. Their results? Same thing. Calls. Offers. Promotions.
I Had to Build What I Wish Existed
But I wasn't at peace. The job paid, sure, but it wasn't meaningful. I couldn't shake the thought of people like me, getting buried by algorithms. Good people. Talented people. Reduced to a score by some broken system. It wasn't right. And honestly, it kept me up at night.
Burnout. Rock Bottom. And One Clear Goal.
I'd been unemployed for nearly three years. Burned through savings. Made hard decisions. Sold my Harley. Sold my house in Chandigarh. Moved to Chennai, and now I had one goal: to build AixonAI AI, not another "AI tool," but something human. Something that gives people a real shot.
The Start of Something Different
AixonAI went live on May 24, 2025 with invitation to 100 beta users. And the people using it? They're already feeling the shift. The feedback is raw and real. And honestly, that's the only validation I've ever needed.
If You've Felt Invisible, You're Not Alone
If you've ever felt invisible while job hunting, like no one's even reading your resume, you're not alone. I've been there. That's exactly why I built Aixon. It's free to use, and always will be. You'll get real, tailored help with a few job applications each month, no catch, no expiry.
This Isn't Just Another AI Tool
AixonAI exists, Not to hack the system. To fix what's broken.
