AI Engineer building production LLM and Voice AI systems. I enjoy solving the engineering problems that begin after the demo works—latency, evaluation, reliability, and deployment at scale. At Sears, I contributed to a voice AI scheduling platform that handles 2M+ calls and independently own a recruiting platform that runs 60+ voice interviews a day. I care about the parts most people skip: keeping p95 latency under 1.2s, building evaluation frameworks that actually catch a bad agent response, and knowing when cascaded pipelines beat streaming ones — and when they don't. Earlier, I built that instinct for rigor elsewhere — causal inference at Fidelity's AI Center of Excellence, low-latency concurrent systems at Density. Same lesson both times: a model is only as good as your ability to measure it. Dual degree (B.Tech + M.Tech), IIT Kharagpur — still the place that taught me to ask "why" before "how."
