AI prototypes are easy. Production is where things break: agents lose context, RAG retrieves the wrong information, integrations fail silently, and cloud costs become unpredictable.
I help SaaS and enterprise teams fix those problems.
I’m Rahul, an AI Solution Architect with 9+ years of production engineering experience. On Upwork, I’m Top Rated with 100% Job Success, $80K+ earned, 2,600+ hours, and 41 completed and ongoing jobs.
I also hold AWS Professional certifications in Generative AI Development, Solutions Architecture, and DevOps Engineering, and I’m an AWS Community Builder.
Clients usually bring me in for one of four reasons:
• AI agents and automation — I design dependable tool-using agents with Claude, OpenAI, Amazon Bedrock, LangChain, LangGraph, and MCP. That includes state, memory, structured outputs, API integrations, approvals, retries, guardrails, evaluation, and monitoring.
• Production RAG — I build and improve document ingestion, chunking, embeddings, vector search, hybrid retrieval, reranking, citations, and evaluation. I work with pgvector, OpenSearch, Pinecone, and similar vector databases, with close attention to accuracy, permissions, latency, hallucinations, and cost per request.
• AI integration — I connect LLMs to existing SaaS products, CRMs, internal APIs, databases, Slack, email, GitHub, and operational workflows. I use deterministic automation where it is safer and agentic reasoning where it adds real value.
• AWS architecture — I design and troubleshoot production platforms using Bedrock, Lambda, API Gateway, ECS, EKS, DynamoDB, S3, SQS, Step Functions, EventBridge, Cognito, CloudWatch, Terraform, AWS CDK, Docker, Kubernetes, and CI/CD.
I work mainly with Python, TypeScript, Node.js, REST APIs, GraphQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and DynamoDB. I can own the path from architecture and critical implementation through deployment, observability, security, cost control, and handoff.
A few examples from my Upwork history:
• A production AWS engagement using Cognito, Lambda, and SQS ran for 686 hours and received a five-star client review.
• Recent five-star work includes Terraform infrastructure, AWS cost optimization, a production RAG pipeline fix, multi-cloud delivery improvements, and AI/ML workflow automation.
• Clients consistently recognize my communication, reliability, quality, collaboration, and ownership of outcomes.
I don’t begin by choosing a fashionable framework. I begin with the workflow, the data, the failure modes, and the business result. Then I choose the simplest architecture that can be operated safely in production.
I will tell you when an autonomous agent is unnecessary, when a simpler AWS design will ship faster, or when an AI feature is missing evaluation, rollback, observability, security, or cost controls.
If you have an AI prototype that needs to reach production, a RAG system that is not reliable, an automation idea, or an AWS bottleneck, send me your current stack and what is not working. I’ll respond with the first risks I see and the most practical next step.
