Working independently

I build AI into
things people can use.

Follow the story

The model is
only the beginning.

I’m an AI engineer. I connect models to the data, tools, and interfaces that make them useful in the real world.

How I got here

At Ujyalo Ventures, I worked on turning business questions into checked queries and visual answers.

As Lead AI Engineer at BusinessFrame, I worked across a larger product: analysis, agents, campaign workflows, and the decisions people need to control.

Now I work independently, building AI products and automations from the interface through to the infrastructure.

Here’s what
that looks like.

Five systems. Different problems.
The same attention to the whole product.

BusinessFrame2025 — 26

A website becomes a campaign plan.

As Lead AI Engineer at BusinessFrame, I worked across website analysis, strategy reports, agent workflows, and Google Ads Search campaign provisioning.

BusinessFrame · 0:28Silent walkthrough

The recording follows website analysis, service signals, and keyword filtering.

Campaigns can be prepared in a paused state while billing, conversion tracking, and policy checks go through human review.

Next.js / AI agents / Google Ads API
OpsPilot2026

An inbox becomes a workflow.

I built OpsPilot to turn operational email and documents into auditable cases: intent, extracted facts, policy evidence, and a proposed action in one place.

Watch incoming email become a classified case with policy evidence and a proposed action.

Commissioned work, demonstrated with synthetic data.

Agent workflows / RAG / Human review
Text-to-BI2024 — 25

A question becomes an answer you can inspect.

At Ujyalo Ventures, I worked on an agentic BI assistant that selects schema context, generates SQL, and streams tables or visualizations in response to business questions.

The assistant selects schema context, checks its query, and returns tables or visualizations.

I added SQL validation and rewrite steps, input validators, retry handling, and FastAPI/SSE streaming.

Python / PydanticAI / LlamaIndex / FastAPI
On-Prem Legal AI2025

Private documents. Private intelligence.

For sensitive work, where a model runs matters as much as what it can do. I helped build an AI workspace on organization-controlled hardware.

A look at local model management and document-focused AI workflows.

Models, documents, storage, and inference remain under the organization’s control.

Receipt OCR2026

Paper becomes usable data.

A receipt is easy to photograph. Turning it into a dependable business record takes extraction, review, and a connection to reporting.

Receipt OCR · 1:11Silent walkthrough

Follow the document from upload to structured fields and human review.

The original image stays alongside the record so the extracted data can be checked.

Vision OCR / Next.js / SQL

And sometimes,
it starts with a challenge.

AI IELTS Prep put speech recognition, an LLM examiner, and generated speech into a speaking-practice experience. Built in 48 hours. Winner of AI Crusade 2024.

The hackathon project

What connects
all of this?

The work between
“it can” and “it works.”

Context that can be checked.

Retrieval, structured data, SQL validation, and clear paths back to the source.

Python · LlamaIndex · PydanticAI · SQL

Actions people can trust.

Connected tools, reviewable decisions, and explicit points for human judgment.

Agents · RAG · MCP · Integrations

An experience that makes sense.

The interface, streaming responses, deployment, and the details around the model.

TypeScript · Next.js · FastAPI · Docker

That’s my work so far.
I’m looking for the next good problem.

you building?
