Vimal Vachhani · Founder, teacher, serial tinkerer

Jack of all trades, master of some.

I build software, run CREx, teach at NYU, and occasionally convince myself another side project is a good idea. This is where I keep the work, the experiments, and the things I’m figuring out.

The main thing I’m building

AI for asset managers. With the messy real estate data part included.

Real estate owners work across different third-party property managers, systems, reports, and investment plans. Somehow their teams are expected to piece everything together and still have time to make decisions. We’re trying to make that a lot less painful.

CREx OS brings the property data, context, and reporting together. CREx Intelligence uses that foundation for AI-assisted analysis, reviews, comparisons, and preparation. Teams can use the AI they already own, review the evidence, and make the calls themselves.

And yes, we still do the consulting and data engineering work. Turns out that part doesn't magically disappear.

01 / FOUNDATION

CREx OS

Property data, portfolio context, and reporting across multiple third-party PMs.

Bring portfolio context to the AI tools your team already uses.

04 / THE HARD PART

Consulting + support

Integrations, AI readiness, implementation, training, and fractional asset-management support.

Side quests

Things I’ve worked on

A mix of useful experiments and things I wanted to see if I could build. Not everything needs to become a company.

A small side quest

My sand garden

Not everything needs a business case. Sometimes it's nice to just move some sand around.

Play with it here, or open the sand garden in a new tab ↗ if the embed doesn't load.

Also apparently an author

Books

Data, persistence, and a couple of stories for kids. An eclectic shelf.

The short version

A little about me

I’ve spent most of my career at the intersection of real estate, data, and technology. These days I run CREx, where we’re building AI for asset managers, and teach data and AI at NYU Schack.

Before CREx, I spent years in consulting and technology roles. I still enjoy getting into the details, probably more than is healthy for someone running a company. I also make apps, write books, and start side projects whenever I find an excuse.

Newsletter

Jack of all trades. Master of some.

A personal newsletter about building a company, real estate, AI, side projects, and the occasional thing that probably didn’t need to become a project. More honest notes than polished thought leadership.
