# Raghavendra Kurapati on Tal

## Headline

AI Engineer @ Handshake \| Full Stack & GenAI Engineer \| React, FastAPI, LangChain, RAG, Docker \| IIIT Sri City ’26 \| Actively Seeking SDE & AI/ML Roles

## About

I'm a 2026 ECE graduate from IIIT Sri City who builds AI products end to end: the model, the API, and the interface people actually use\. While building student dashboards and AI chat screens at Saarthi\.ai, then evaluating LLMs for security and ML tasks at Handshake, I saw that reliability, not the demo, decides whether AI ships\. That shapes what I build: • Defence RAG System: Gemini 2\.5 Flash \+ ChromaDB answers policy questions with page\-level citations, tracked with retrieval precision, MRR and hallucination checks • Agriconnect: crop\-disease detection with MobileNetV2 \+ EfficientNet\-B4 at 85%\+ accuracy; consensus inference cut false positives by 25%; Gemini treatment advice in under 2 seconds • NextFlow: MERN productivity platform with JWT auth, REST APIs and real\-time collaboration Stack: Python, JavaScript, React, Next\.js, Node\.js, FastAPI, LangChain, LangGraph, PyTorch, MongoDB\. I'm looking for a full\-time AI Engineer or Full\-Stack role \(Hyderabad, Bengaluru, anywhere in india and remote in India\)\.
