AI Engineer · Kolkata, India · open to Bangalore / Delhi / Remote

Ships AI agents, not notebooks.

Data engineer turned AI engineer who ships agents with guardrails, hard cost ceilings, and published numbers — including the ugly ones.

Goals · Aug 2026

Where this is heading.

Next three months

Shipping Yardstick, interviewing, a published fine-tune, deeper document-RAG, and picking up a new stack.

In twelve months

Building higher-value AI systems — bigger scope, greater impact, steeper learning.

Work

Shipped systems, measured — including the ugly numbers.

Agentic natural-language analytics over public datasets — ask in plain English, get safe verified SQL and a grounded answer.

A classic supervised-classification project on a standard diagnostic dataset — an early ML fundamentals build.

Currently building · since Aug 2026Yardstick. An agent that trains candidate models on tabular data and reports honestly how good they actually are: automated leakage detection, every model compared against a trivial baseline, and metric selection that is justified rather than defaulted.

Stack

Grouped by what I'd be trusted with.

Flip a card for what it is and which projects I used it in — not an alphabetised keyword dump.

Experience

From data engineering into AI/ML.

Outcomes and ownership — not a list of responsibilities.

  1. Platform Engineer cum Data Engineer

    Jul 2025 – Present

    Tata Consultancy Services

    • Ship features inside an enterprise GenAI/LLM framework — prompt orchestration and LLM response handling — and version production prompt templates against held-out tests.
    • Build Python and SQL ETL with automated integration and ingestion across the billing domain, on AWS (S3, EC2, IAM).
    • Profile source systems for lineage, quality, and PII exposure — the ingestion and redaction layer a RAG corpus needs.
  2. AI/ML Intern

    Dec 2023 – Jan 2024

    LTIMindtree

    • Fine-tuned FLAN-T5 with PEFT for a text-to-SQL task over ITR-6 filings; built the training corpus end to end — extraction, cleaning, entity tagging.
  3. B.Tech, Computer Science & Engineering

    2021 – 2025

    Kalinga Institute of Industrial Technology (KIIT), Bhubaneswar

    CGPA 8.89 / 10

Off the clock

Three things I actually do.

Riding

The peace I feel — bikes mostly, sometimes the car.

Gaming

Ex-esports on PC — Apex Legends (#4, Asia server) and Valorant.

Finding new tech

On the frontier — quantization, transformers, whatever's next.
