Founder @ Laddu\-AI \| Building Agentic AI Products & Distributed Systems \| AI Infrastructure \| Full\-Stack Architect \| Go, Java, Kubernetes \| RAG & LLM Architecture

## About

I’m a Full\-Stack Architect and Product Technologist with 11\+ years of experience building end\-to\-end digital products — from pixels to pipelines, and now, from prompts to agents\. I’ve worn every hat: developer, team lead, startup founder, product designer, DevOps wrangler, AI engineer and everything that you can think of while running a company\. I don’t just write code — I architect systems, design user experiences, optimize infrastructure, and embed intelligence using modern AI techniques like RAG \(Retrieval\-Augmented Generation\) and Agentic AI workflows\. My superpower? Going from 0 to 1 — solo\. I’ve shipped mobile and web apps single\-handedly across Banking, Fashion, Pharma, Restaurants — handling UI/UX, backend, deployment, and even user feedback loops\. Now, I’m obsessed with AI\-native products: building intelligent agents that reason, retrieve, and act — not just respond\. 🔹 What I bring to the table: ✅ Full Product Ownership: Design → Dev → DevOps → User Growth → Iteration ✅ Modern AI Stack: RAG systems, LLM orchestration, agentic workflows, prompt engineering ✅ Architecture at Scale: Microservices, cloud\-native apps, performance optimization ✅ Startup DNA: Built and ran my own venture — understand market\-fit, speed, and lean execution ✅ Teaching & Leadership: Mentored devs, led code reviews, architected team workflows \(Scrum, JIRA, CI/CD\) ✅ Design Sensibility: UI/UX isn’t an afterthought — it’s core to product success 🎓 B\.Tech, Metallurgical & Materials Engineering — IIT Madras \(yes, non\-CS — and that’s my edge: I solve problems differently\)\. I have also worked with Leaflet, canvas,Webpack, CI/CD, SVG, End to End testing, Rest API and everything you need to build and deploy software I’m passionate about building intelligent, human\-centered tech that scales — whether it’s a sleek banking app, a fashion e\-comm engine, or an AI agent that thinks for itself\.
