# Vani Padmanabha on Tal

## Headline

AI Solutions Architect & Strategy Lead \| GenAI • Agentic AI • Graph RAG \(Neo4j\) \| Banking & Network Domain

## About

I help enterprises figure out where GenAI actually delivers — and then I architect the solution, prove it through a POC, and get it ready for the production pipeline\. What makes that useful is the handful years underneath it\. Before GenAI, I spent over a decade running network infrastructure for a global bank — WAN, capacity planning, incident and change management\. So when I design an AI solution, it's grounded in how a real banking operation works, not in a demo\. Plenty of people can wire up an LLM; far fewer understand the systems it's meant to fix\. These days I: Architect an integrated AI initiative — Agentic AI, MCP, Neo4j Graph DB, RAG and GenAI for network diagnostics and incident resolution — and drive it from POC toward production Prototype and evaluate: Graph RAG on Neo4j, RAG chatbots, fine\-tuned domain LLMs, and structured LLM benchmarking across model families Sit on the Core AI Committee, helping set AI strategy and governance, and translate complex AI design into terms leadership will fund And I keep one foot in measurable delivery — automation and analytics work that cut manual effort by \~90% and KPI deviations by 70%\+ in live operations\. I work best as the bridge: between domain stakeholders and engineering, between "interesting AI idea" and "thing the business can actually use\." I'm open to AI Solutions Architect, AI Strategy, and Domain AI Lead roles — especially in banking, financial services, and enterprise environments where deep domain knowledge matters as much as the technology\.
