AI Systems Builder · Bangalore, India

I build and ship production AI systems, end⁠-⁠to⁠-⁠end.

Eighteen years as an operator and founder; since mid-2023 architecting and shipping production AI SaaS — retrieval, LLM orchestration, search, data, billing, and deployment. I prefer production-bound work over throwaway demos: systems that run under load, with every decision in them explainable.

Flagship — live in production

Vidhi — production AI research & drafting

A domain-specific AI research & drafting platform — RAG over a very large, citation-heavy corpus. Soft-launched with real users and live subscription billing — architected, built, and operated end to end.

Production RAG platform

Co-Founder & CTO · Feb 2024 – present · owned architecture, engineering & deployment

Fast, source-cited answers over 750,000+ document chunks — with the full product built around the model, not just an API wrapper.

Retrieval
Hybrid search fusing lexical (BM25) and vector (pgvector) results via reciprocal-rank fusion. Source-cited answers, follow-up context, stable quality as the corpus grows.
LLM orchestration
Multi-provider router with automatic fallback, circuit breakers, per-request cost budgeting, prompt caching, and token/rate governance. No single-vendor lock-in.
Quality
A scored evaluation harness that catches retrieval-quality regressions before release. RAG accuracy treated as a measurable, testable property.
Production reality
Subscription billing, org-scoped multi-tenancy, object storage, observability, disaster-recovery runbooks, pre-launch security hardening. Deployed and operated on real infrastructure.

The platform

A shared platform that ships production AI fast

Vidhi runs on a multi-tenant platform I architected to take AI products from idea to production quickly — auth, billing, RAG, chat, search, and LLM orchestration, hardened once and reused. A sample of the systems it runs:

SYS · CLASSIFY

Deterministic classification & scoring engine

Rule-based, with a full auditable decision trail — chosen over an LLM where traceability and defensibility matter more than flexibility.

SYS · MEDIA

Multi-stage generative-media pipeline

Brief → storyboard → asset generation → voiceover → render, orchestrated through resilient background workers across several media providers.

SYS · GRAPH

Entity & relationship knowledge graph

A graph store layered over Postgres for entity-and-relationship intelligence, kept in sync from the primary system of record.

SYS · INGEST

Resilient ingestion & extraction

Browser-automation ingestion for dynamic, JavaScript-heavy sources, plus multi-format document extraction/OCR and normalization.

SYS · COREShared platform

Shared multi-tenant core

Unified auth, billing, RAG, chat, search, and content — so each new product ships as a thin shell, not a rebuild. Improvements compound across every app.

DEEPER PROOF

Architecture walkthroughs under NDA

Under mutual NDA I walk my own proprietary systems — real screenshots, workflows, architecture. I never use client work as public proof.

What I build

Systems I build

Production RAG & document intelligence

Hybrid retrieval, source-cited answers, evaluation harnesses, and anti-hallucination controls that hold up in production.

Multi-provider LLM orchestration

Routing, fallback, circuit breakers, cost/token governance, and prompt caching across several model vendors — no single-vendor lock-in.

AI SaaS architecture & multi-tenancy

Auth, org tenancy, billing, and the platform plumbing that turns an AI capability into a real, operable product.

Search, ingestion & evaluation

Hybrid lexical + vector search, resilient ingestion and extraction pipelines, and measurable quality harnesses.

Launch & operations infrastructure

Deployment, observability, disaster recovery, and the operating discipline to run systems under real load.
