About

I build AI that
actually ships

I'm a Forward Deployed Engineer at Abacus.AI, working at the intersection of cutting-edge AI and enterprise deployment. My job is to take powerful technology and make it land for clients — from architecture to adoption.

Before this, I spent 5 years at kipi.ai building production AI across healthcare, energy, insurance, and supply chain: RAG pipelines, fraud detection systems, document intelligence platforms, and ML models at scale. Clients included ConocoPhillips, Gameday Men's Health, Germania Insurance, and Blue Yonder.

I hold an M.Tech in Data Science from BITS Pilani and am a technical reviewer for Packt Publishing. When I'm not shipping ML systems, I'm writing for Towards Data Science, running half marathons, or logging gym sessions.

"Say yes first. Figure out how later."

Forward Deployed Engineer
Mar 2026 — Present
Abacus.AI is building the world's best AI super assistant — a platform where AI, not humans, builds and orchestrates enterprise workflows at scale. Their flagship products, ChatLLM and DeepAgent, give professionals and enterprises one place to access every frontier model (GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok) and automate pretty much any task. Recognised in Forbes AI 50, CB Insights AI 100, eWeek 100 Best AI Companies, and adopted by Fortune 500 companies globally.
As a Forward Deployed Engineer, I bridge that platform and enterprise reality — every engagement starts with a real business problem and ends with AI running in production. The work spans autonomous agents, multi-tool chatbots, RAG systems, demand forecasting, NER pipelines, predictive modelling, and custom AI workflows deployed at scale.
