Nash Khanal

I’m the Technical Director and Co-Founder of What Works, with over a decade of experience building tech companies, launching products, and solving complex technical challenges. I hold a background in mathematics and statistics, along with a Master of Computing (AI) from the Australian National University. I work with startups and established businesses to turn ideas into commercially viable products, often acting as a CTO or senior advisor across legal, finance, construction, health, and gaming sectors. My focus spans product direction, technical strategy, and delivery. For startups, I provide a cost-effective pathway to validate and launch without the need to immediately build a full internal tech team. I’ve secured funding through programs including ICON and UNSW Founders, and I mentor ventures developing physical electronic products. I can help with: Business and growth strategy Product and technology direction Fractional CTO support Startup validation and commercialisation AI, automation, and digital transformation Proposal review and delivery management My approach is practical, analytical, and commercially focused, prioritising the right problems and delivering lasting value.
