## Headline

Senior Software Engineer \| Applied AI, LLMs, RAG & Agents \| Production\-Scale Systems \(1M\+ req/hr\) \| Relyance AI \| IIMB 🎓

## About

I’m a Senior Software Engineer with 8\+ years of experience building distributed systems, cloud infrastructure, and production applications — increasingly focused on applying AI to real\-world products\. My recent work spans LLMs, RAG, vision\-language retrieval, audio intelligence, and agentic workflows\. I’ve worked with ColPali and Qdrant for vision\-language retrieval, built multilingual audio pipelines using Whisper \+ LLMs \+ KeyBERT with Airflow, and explored production agent workflows with LangGraph\. My systems background is what I bring to AI: designing for scale, reliability, latency, and cost\. I've worked on systems handling 1M\+ requests/hour at 30ms p95, multi\-region DynamoDB Global Tables, Lambda@Edge, and Terraform\. I've delivered 100x latency reductions on critical paths and driven ₹2Cr\+ in infrastructure savings through automation\. I'm particularly interested in the engineering challenges that emerge when AI moves beyond prototypes — evaluation, retrieval quality, latency, cost, observability, and reliability\. Currently going deeper into grounded RAG, agentic systems, AI evaluation, and production LLM infrastructure\. Open to Applied AI / AI Product Engineer / Senior Software Engineer roles — Bangalore or remote\.
