Hi, I’m Tushar Gupta, a Senior Software Engineer blending 9+ years of full-stack expertise with 1.5+ years of hands-on GenAI and LLM systems across production environments. I design and ship end-to-end AI features—from RAG pipelines and LLM agents to embedding-based content generation—while focusing on reliability, cost optimization, and scalable architectures. I thrive on turning complex AI concepts into practical products that deliver measurable impact for fintech, edtech, and enterprise teams. I enjoy collaborating with cross-functional teams, mentoring engineers, and shaping technical strategy that reduces frictions in deployment and operation at scale. When I’m not coding, I’m exploring new AI tooling, evaluating model performance, and crafting delightful user experiences that leverage the power of language models and vector databases.
