Experience

AI Engineer, Edgeverve Systems, Bangalore

Feb 2025 – Current

  • •Co-authored AI4UI, a multi-agent framework for automated UI generation published on arXiv, covering agent orchestration, tool calling, context management, sandboxed execution, and automated evaluation across code quality, security compliance, and compilation success rates. paper
  • •Built RAG pipelines covering document ingestion, semantic chunking, metadata extraction, embedding generation, indexing, hybrid retrieval, and reranking, improving retrieval quality by 40% (Recall@K, Precision@K, MRR, NDCG).
  • •Developed agentic workflows with autonomous planning, dynamic tool selection, parallel tool execution, state management, retries, timeouts, and sandboxed execution, reaching a 95% task success rate and 40% lower execution latency.
  • •Hands-on with prompt engineering, LangChain, LangGraph, Claude Agent SDK, and agent observability via OpenTelemetry.
  • •Owned integration and production debugging across REST APIs, async workflows, Kafka-based messaging, PostgreSQL, and AWS deployments.
  • •Mentored 3+ interns on production AI engineering, including coding standards, deployment workflows, and how to not push directly to prod on a Friday.
