## About

Most engineers demo AI\. I productionize it\. As Product Architect on an enterprise data\-management platform used by Fortune 500 companies, I lead GenAI strategy hands\-on: LLM features that have served 10,000\+ production requests over 2\+ years, with adoption climbing every release as more customers upgrade into them\. Fine\-tuned models that turn plain English into working automation code\. AI agents wired into real business systems \(Microsoft Graph, Azure Functions\)\. I work across the model landscape \(OpenAI GPT\-5, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini\) and architect so you're never locked into one vendor\. I know what breaks at scale because I've broken it and fixed it: token cost creep, prompt injection, hallucination handling, latency under load\. That's the difference between an AI feature and an AI liability\. The engineering behind the AI, built over 8 years of enterprise full\-stack: → Backend: \.NET/C\#, Java Spring Boot, REST APIs → Frontend: Angular \(incl\. micro\-frontends\), React → Cloud: Azure \(Functions, DevOps, Key Vault, Databricks\) · AWS Certified Solutions Architect → Data: SQL Server, Oracle, PostgreSQL, MongoDB · compiler/parser work across DB dialects \(ANTLR\) → Enterprise hygiene: SSO, Apigee, SonarQube/Veracode compliance, Splunk Along the way I've built a banking platform from scratch, led a 10\-developer migration team that delivered ahead of schedule, and designed SQL dialect compilers for Oracle, Postgres, and BigQuery\. My honest rule with AI: 70% of "we need fine\-tuning" projects actually need RAG or a better prompt\. I'll always tell you which, and build the cheapest thing that works\. 📩 nigamagarwal5@gmail\.com
