Senior Software Engineer | Building Production Conversational AI @ LimeChat | MS by Research (IIIT-H)

About

AI Engineer specializing in production-ready conversational systems, agentic workflows, and high-performance retrieval architectures. At LimeChat, I bridge the gap between complex AI reasoning and low-latency production systems (multi-agent orchestration, streaming voice/text APIs, and deterministic evaluation systems). Backed by an MS by Research from IIIT-Hyderabad focused on AI fairness and pricing optimization.
