01 — About
Hi, I'm Balaji.
AI engineer who ships the full stack.
I build production AI — LLM systems, RAG pipelines, agentic AI — and the full-stack apps around them. Currently at Samco Securities, shipping ML for trading analytics and internal LLM platforms.
B.Tech in CSE with AI / ML specialization from VIT-AP (2025). GATE 2025 AIR 19,299 in Data Science & AI. IEEE-published researcher. Dean's List × 4.
I care about reliability, velocity, and product outcomes — not demo-ware.

02 — What I do
Four disciplines, one toolkit.
AI / ML Engineering
Production ML pipelines, model monitoring, CI/CD for models. From data to deployed endpoint.
LLMs · RAG · GenAI
Retrieval pipelines, prompt systems, fine-tuning, eval. Built an internal LLM gateway with cost + failover.
Agentic AI
Autonomous coding agents, multi-agent systems, tool use. Agents that actually work, not demos.
Full-Stack Engineering
The product around the model. Next.js + FastAPI + Postgres — shipping real apps end-to-end.
