Senior AI & Agentic Systems Engineer specializing in Multi-Agent AI, RAG, LLM Applications, and AI Automations-n8n/make
I am a Senior AI Engineer with 6+ years of experience building production-ready AI systems that solve complex business problems and generate measurable ROI.

I build data infrastructure and AI systems that actually work in production — not just in notebooks.
As an AI & Data Engineer with hands-on experience at one of India's largest IT firms, I specialise in solving the problems that slow data teams down: slow pipelines, bloated APIs, poorly integrated LLMs, and data systems that break under real-world load.
What makes me different is my deep background in systems programming. I don't just "use" tools; I build them. Whether it's custom VMs, high-performance data stores, or specialized networking protocols, I understand the "plumbing" of the modern AI stack.
KEY ACHIEVEMENTS & OPEN SOURCE PROJECTS:
✦ Config-Driven Data Pipelines: Architected and implemented "Dataflow," a self-hosted ETL engine (Python/FastAPI/React) that automates data movement without the overhead of Airflow.
✦ AI Agent Infrastructure: Developed "db-mcp-suite," a comprehensive suite of Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers that connect LLMs to PostgreSQL, MySQL, and MSSQL with a semantic layer for accurate retrieval.
✦ High-Performance Systems: Built a custom Redis clone in Go and a stack-based virtual machine (smol-vm) in Go to explore and optimize execution environments.
✦ Custom Networking: Designed "VTP" (Vamsi Transfer Protocol) for efficient file synchronization over UDP , handling low-level socket programming and binary data.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
WHAT I CAN BUILD FOR YOU
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
✦ AI & LLM Infrastructure
• Custom MCP servers for secure and efficient database-LLM interaction.
• RAG pipelines using LangChain, OpenAI, and Vector DBs (Pinecone, Chroma).
• LLM-powered APIs and AI agents for enterprise workflows.
✦ High-Performance Data Engineering
• Scalable ETL/ELT pipelines using DuckDB, Apache Arrow, and Parquet.
• Real-time data streaming and synchronization protocols.
• Optimization of slow Python/JSON APIs for 10-50x speed gains.
✦ Systems & Backend Engineering
• Robust FastAPI/Django services designed for high-throughput.
• Custom database engines and key-value stores for specialized needs.
• Low-level networking and socket-based applications.
