Hi, I'm Rishith Gandham, currently working as an AI Engineer at BeProEx in California. I'm based in Beckett Ridge, Ohio, and I have 5 years of experience building AI and ML systems that solve real problems. I started coding in 2016 during my undergrad, and what drives me is the opportunity to build intelligent systems that make a tangible impact. Whether it's helping visually impaired people navigate independently or automating workflows that save teams hours of manual work, I'm motivated by creating technology that actually helps people. I recently graduated from Virginia Tech with a Master's thesis in Computer Science, where I built SMARTGUIDE, a real-time vision system combining fine-tuned object detection, depth estimation, and GPT-4 Vision. We've submitted the paper to an ACM conference. Currently at BeProEx, I'm building multi-agentic AI workflows using LangGraph and LangChain, where different agents collaborate to automate complex tasks. What excites me most about AI is how rapidly it's evolving. I'm passionate about GenAI, agentic systems, and finding new ways to apply these technologies to real-world challenges. I love learning, experimenting with new frameworks, and staying at the cutting edge of what's possible with AI. Previously, I worked at RACE Academy building recommendation engines with Neo4j and XGBoost, deploying complete MLOps pipelines on AWS, and at Wipro developing predictive analytics using LSTM models. Each experience taught me something new and deepened my passion for building end-to-end AI systems.

Work Experience

AI Engineer at BeProEx
May 1, 2025 - Present
Led design and build of a GenAI (LLM-based automation) prototype that automates Sanity IO Cloud content ingestion for 50+ guide profiles, provides a React/Next.js dashboard for real-time content review, integrates dynamic media generation, and enables context-aware user queries via a Retrieval-Augmented Generation layer. Orchestrated hierarchical AI agents to simulate corporate roles and automate certification workflows.
Machine Learning Assistant at Virginia Tech
May 1, 2025 - October 8, 2025
Spearheaded the end-to-end development of SMARTGUIDE, a mobile application that helps visually impaired users navigate indoor environments via audio feedback. The system streams live images from Meta ARIA smart glasses, processes them with vision and depth models, and generates scene descriptions with GPT-4 Vision; ARAG chatbot handles follow-up questions; QR-code graphs and Dijkstra’s algorithm provide localization and routing.
Machine Learning Engineer at RACE Academy
December 1, 2022 - October 8, 2025
Engineered a low-latency hybrid course recommendation service that personalizes 'You May Also Like' suggestions. Merges Neo4j graph-based candidate generation with an XGBoost ranking model, delivered via a Dockerized FastAPI Lambda (~200 ms latency). Built AWS MLOps pipelines for batch feature engineering, SageMaker training, MLflow tracking, drift detection, and A/B testing for continuous optimization.
Project Engineer at Wipro Ltd
November 1, 2021 - October 8, 2025
Developed the AIOps Resilient Observability platform to forecast infrastructure resource utilization (CPU, RAM, disk) via multi-step LSTM models on Prometheus time-series data. Simulated load with JMeter, collected metrics via Nginx exporters, visualized data in Grafana and Dash/Plotly dashboards with threshold-based anomaly alerts.
