We didn't build AssemblyEngine from the outside looking in. Our team combines decades of commercial lending and legal expertise with deep AI engineering. We've lived the pain of slow closings, manual doc prep, and outside counsel bottlenecks. That's why we're building something better.
Darpan has spent his career at the intersection of financial services and technology. Before founding AssemblyEngine, he led product and engineering teams building enterprise software for banks, capital markets, and lending institutions. He saw firsthand how commercial loan closings remained one of the last manual, paper-heavy processes in banking, and set out to change that with AI.
At AssemblyEngine, Darpan drives the product vision: AI agents that don't just automate templates, but reason about each deal the way your best loan closer would. He's focused on building technology that empowers lending teams to close faster without sacrificing compliance or control.
Dub has spent his career representing financial institutions, non-bank lenders, and private companies across every phase of the business lifecycle, from formation and conventional debt financing to mergers, acquisitions, and securities offerings. Before practicing law, Dub held executive management positions in both the banking and manufacturing industries, giving him a rare operator's perspective on how deals actually get done.
At AssemblyEngine, Dub brings that same owner mentality to the platform. His deep experience in commercial lending documentation, corporate governance, and regulatory compliance is built directly into how our AI agents reason about deals. When the platform generates a closing package, it reflects the kind of judgment that comes from decades of hands-on deal work, not generic templates.
J.D., St. Mary's University School of Law · B.A., UT AustinAakash leads the engineering and AI architecture behind AssemblyEngine. With deep experience building production AI systems, he designed the platform's core: AI agents that apply legal reasoning at scale, not pattern matching or template filling. His work ensures that every document decision is traceable, every compliance check is auditable, and the system scales from your first deal to your thousandth.
Aakash is focused on building AI that earns the trust of regulated institutions. That means full audit trails, explainable reasoning, and a system that your compliance team can stand behind.
Leroy brings broad legal experience across commercial lending, regulatory compliance, and corporate securities. He has spent his career helping financial institutions navigate the lending process and adapt to evolving regulatory requirements. At AssemblyEngine, Leroy's expertise in commercial lending documentation and financial regulation is built directly into the platform's AI agents, ensuring every generated document meets the standards that lenders and regulators demand.

Michael focuses on regulatory compliance in consumer and commercial lending, lending documentation, and treasury management. His hands-on experience drafting loan documents and navigating federal and state regulatory requirements is core to how AssemblyEngine's AI agents generate compliant, jurisdiction-aware closing packages. Michael ensures the platform handles the compliance details that trip up generalist tools.
J.D. Cum Laude, St. Mary's University School of Law · B.S., UT San AntonioOur AI agents are trained on the actual policies, standards, and jurisdictional requirements that govern commercial lending. We didn't start with a general-purpose model and hope it would figure out lending. We started with lending and built the AI to serve it.
We believe AI should empower your team, not replace it. Every document AssemblyEngine generates is reviewable, every reasoning step is explainable, and your closers approve before anything moves forward.
Bank-grade security, full audit trails, and compliance baked into every layer. We didn't bolt on compliance as an afterthought. It's foundational to how the platform works.
