Hi, I’m Anup Gopalakrishna, a Senior AI Software Engineer specialising in building production-grade AI agents and automation systems. My core focus is backend engineering with Python and Django, and I design LLM-powered agents, orchestration workflows, and API connectors that embed GenAI capabilities into real business systems. I’ve led the development of domain-specific GenAI platforms and cloud-native deployments on AWS and Azure, balancing latency, cost, security and reliability. I enjoy shipping reliable AI features at scale, mentoring teams, and driving engineering standards that enable experimentation and governance in regulated environments.
