About

An AI Leader who delivers generative AI systems from initial whiteboard concepts straight into production, while scaling the technical teams required to ship them. Core Expertise: Advanced LLM Architecture: Proven success deploying deep iterative RAG with self-reflection, multi-hop graph traversal for structured and unstructured data, table intelligence agents, multimodal document parsing, and CI/CD-integrated LLM evaluation frameworks. Production-Grade Focus: Dedicated to optimization for retrieval quality, agent reliability, and evaluation rigor to ensure systems withstand messy, real-world data at scale. Technical Leadership: Dual experience as Tech Lead and Team Lead for a cross-functional unit of 10 data scientists and engineers, managing architecture, research roadmaps, stakeholder alignment, and talent development. Product Delivery: Demonstrated history of guiding products from greenfield inception through controlled commercial release to early-adopter phases. Led benchmarking for multiple flagship products and trained over 50 professionals via custom bootcamps. Full-Stack AI Domain Knowledge: Integrated capabilities spanning GenAI/LLMs (LangChain, LangGraph), Computer Vision (segmentation, ViTs, zero-shot learning), and NLP (document intelligence, information extraction). Research & Academic Foundations: PhD in Computer Vision from IIT Bombay (CGPA 8.8) 4 granted US/EP patents with 13+ filed 12 publications across ACM Multimedia, BMVC, IEEE ICIP, ADIPEC, and EAGE Outstanding Reviewer (BMVC 2024) | GATE 2010 AIR 102 (Top 0.1%)
