Contributed to a 6-microservice legal-tech AI platform (Go, Python, gRPC, Restate, PostgreSQL/pgVector), building a production RAG pipeline (pgVector, VoyageAI embeddings, LLM-based query-rewriting via Groq) and durable agentic workflow orchestration for multi-step document ingestion (PDF extraction, classification, annotation). Debugged and fixed LLM agent routing/classification failures, including a query-rewrite misclassification and unbalanced few-shot prompt engineering examples, and designed a same-call citation hover-preview feature generating LLM-based descriptions with no extra call, cache, or database lookup. Diagnosed and fixed production correctness issues, including a billing/credits-deduction bug, a missing database migration risking data loss, and a guardrails bug dropping verification status on LLM-generated legal citations.

About

AI Engineer at VyasLDM, specializing in Generative AI, Agentic AI, and Large Language Models (LLMs). I design and build production Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines, machine learning systems, and microservice-based AI platforms. At VyasLDM, a legal-technology platform, I contribute to a 6-microservice architecture spanning document processing, LLM-powered legal research, and agentic workflow orchestration. My work includes building RAG pipelines using pgVector and VoyageAI embeddings with LLM-based query-rewriting via Groq, debugging LLM agent routing and classification logic, and designing citation-generation features for legal AI outputs. Previously, I completed a 730-hour interdisciplinary AI/ML research internship at IIMSTC, rated Diamond (top performance tier) on the final assessment. Independently, I have built and deployed end-to-end AI/ML products, including a multi-modal Retrieval-Augmented Generation chatbot with OCR-based document ingestion and a Chroma vector database, and a full-stack agriculture platform published on the Google Play Store. Core competencies: Python, Large Language Models, RAG, Prompt Engineering, Scikit-learn, TensorFlow, FastAPI, PostgreSQL, Vector Databases (Chroma, pgVector), gRPC.
