About

I build production AI systems that solve real business problems. Over the last 3+ years, I've worked across product engineering and Applied AI - building software that doesn't stop at demos but gets deployed, adopted, and scaled by customers. Currently, I'm a Forward Deployed Engineer at Zomato (Nugget), where I work directly with enterprise customers to design and deploy conversational Voice AI agents. I own the journey from understanding business workflows to prompt engineering, LLM orchestration, API integrations, production deployment, and post-launch optimization. I've helped deploy AI agents for companies. Previously at Fyle (now Sage), I built customer-facing product features, led large frontend migrations, optimized system performance, improved engineering velocity, and shipped multiple high-impact initiatives that served thousands of users. I enjoy working where software engineering meets customer problems. Whether it's reducing AI latency, designing reliable tool-calling architectures, improving agent success rates, or debugging production issues, I like building systems that are measurable, reliable, and continuously improving. Some areas I enjoy working in include: • Applied AI & LLM Applications • Voice AI & Conversational Agents • Agentic AI, MCP & Tool Calling • RAG Systems & Knowledge Retrieval • Python, TypeScript & React • API Design & Distributed Systems • AI Evaluations, Observability & Performance Optimization I'm particularly interested in solving difficult engineering problems at the intersection of AI, software engineering, and customer impact. My long-term goal is to build AI products that millions of people use every day.
