Applied AI Engineer · Pune, India

I build AI systems that show their work.

14+ years in production backend engineering, the last several spent building document-intelligence and RAG pipelines that cite their sources, log their confidence, and fail safely instead of guessing. Currently leading a reconciliation platform used by an 80-person team at Atos.

About

Applied AI engineer based in Pune, India, with 14 years across travel, logistics, food-tech, and AI document processing, delivering systems for enterprise clients including American Express.

At Atos, I lead a reconciliation platform as Product Owner and hands-on technical lead, and built the underlying AI document-intelligence pipeline (AWS Bedrock, Textract, Claude API) that reaches 95%+ field-level extraction accuracy and cuts per-document processing time up to 99%.

My edge: I don't just integrate AI. I build the evaluation, citation, and audit layer that makes it safe to put in front of a compliance team.
