Hi, I’m Shiva Vangari, a Senior Consultant AI Engineer with over 4 years of experience building and deploying ML solutions in cloud environments. I specialize in Generative AI, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), and LLM-driven applications, applying supervised and unsupervised learning, NLP, and time-series forecasting to real-world problems. I’ve led multi-agent and RAG-oriented architectures in production, with a focus on efficiency, maintainability, and measurable business impact. I enjoy translating complex requirements into scalable, observable AI systems, collaborating with cross-functional teams, and continuously learning to stay ahead in a fast-evolving field. I’m passionate about designing robust pipelines, governance, and transparent AI that aligns with user needs and organizational goals.
