# Neevash Ramdial (Nash)

> Nash co-authored and currently leads [Vision Agents](https://github.com/GetStream/Vision-Agents) at Stream, an open-source Python framework with 8K+ GitHub stars for building real-time multimodal AI agents. At Stream he's done a bit of everything: shipping Flutter SDKs, running DevRel, owning marketing. He likes working where engineering, product, and go-to-market overlap and tends to learn best by building things.

Earlier in his career he put down roots in the Flutter ecosystem. He was the first Google Developer Expert (GDE) for Flutter and Dart from Trinidad and Tobago, built Awesome Flutter Snippets (1.1M+ downloads), co-founded the Flutter Community Medium publication and grew it to over 3M monthly readers, and ran The Flutter Bi-Weekly newsletter for four years. He organised Hack20, the world's largest online Flutter hackathon, and won HackTT 2019, Trinidad and Tobago's first national hackathon. Along the way he collaborated with clients ranging from government agencies to scrappy start-ups, which gave him a good sense of what it actually takes to ship things that people use.

Outside of work he swims, follows Formula One, and is always learning something new.
