About

I build GenAI systems that survive contact with production — not just demos that work in a notebook. Over 6+ years in ML, NLP, and Generative AI, I've shipped systems that actually carry business weight: a multi-agent RAG chatbot (LangChain + LangGraph) automating 80% of customer queries at 92% task-completion accuracy, an XGBoost pharmacist-alert model processing 800 cases/hour at 8x the target throughput, and a LightGBM credit-risk engine that cut loan defaults by 18% inside a regulated banking workflow. What I actually do: → Design and ship multi-agent RAG pipelines (LangChain, LangGraph, MCP) for enterprise chat and search → Fine-tune LLMs on domain data (Lamini) and lock down output reliability with RAGAS eval + Pydantic enforcement — cut hallucinations 31%, schema errors 87% → Build semantic search at scale — FAISS/Pinecone + MiniLM embeddings across 50K+ documents, sub-second retrieval → Ship classical ML that regulators can actually audit — SHAP-explained XGBoost/LightGBM models in banking and healthcare → Deploy all of it properly — FastAPI, Docker, Kubernetes, MLflow, CI/CD, not just Jupyter notebooks Right now at Fractal Analytics, I lead GenBI evaluation work — benchmarking Databricks Genie, Snowflake Cortex, and Power BI Copilot against a 36-prompt scoring library so business teams pick tools on evidence, not vibes. Before that, six years at TCS building production ML for banking and healthcare clients (Optum, and others) where "the model works" wasn't enough — it had to be explainable, monitored, and compliant. I'm a Claude Certified Architect (Anthropic) and hold the Microsoft Power BI PL-300 certification. Always happy to talk RAG architecture, agentic system design, or where GenAI hype meets production reality — reach out or drop a message.
