Hi, I’m Prathyush Lai, an AI Engineer focused on building Generative AI, RAG, and ML solutions that deliver measurable business impact. I specialize in LLMs, NLP, and deep learning, and I enjoy turning complex data into practical, production-ready systems. I love designing agentic AI workflows with LangChain and LangGraph, crafting scalable APIs with FastAPI and Flask, and establishing robust MLOps—from model versioning and CI/CD to monitoring and automated retraining. I’m comfortable working across AWS, Azure, and GCP to build secure, governance-focused cloud-native solutions.

AI Engineer at Wizards of the Coast
August 1, 2025 - PresentDesigned and implemented end-to-end Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) architectures, integrating vector databases, embedding pipelines, and LLM orchestration frameworks to enable context-aware and high-precision responses. Built scalable document intelligence pipelines for PDF parsing, OCR-based text extraction, embedding generation, and semantic search to process large volumes of unstructured enterprise data. Developed and optimized PyTorch models for classification, recommendation, and user engagement, improving predictive performance and system scalability. Reduced RAG re-indexing latency by 60% through efficient chunking, asynchronous embeddings, and streamlined vector storage. Deployed low-latency inference services via FastAPI-based microservices with monitoring and automated retraining. Built agentic AI systems using LangChain and LangGraph with tool-calling and multi-step reasoning. Implemented LLM workflows with context management, guardrails, and robust access controls to
AI/ML Engineer at Verisk Analytics
August 1, 2024 - July 1, 2025Optimized Snowflake data models and complex SQL transformations to support scalable AI/ML workloads and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG). Designed and implemented end-to-end RAG architectures with embedding generation, vector similarity search, semantic retrieval, and context injection to enable accurate, context-aware LLM responses. Built high-performance PyTorch inference services integrated with backend systems and distributed pipelines, supporting real-time and batch processing with low latency. Developed NLP and predictive analytics models to enhance claims processing and underwriting workflows, leading to better decision-making. Engineered secure AWS-based infrastructure (VPC, IAM, encryption) and robust data ingestion pipelines for structured and unstructured data (contracts, claims, policy documents). Improved claims processing efficiency by 35% via multi-agent LLM-based summarization, automated retrieval, and decision-support. Fine-tuned transformer models on domain-specif
Data Scientist at eSparkBiz Technologies
June 1, 2021 - July 1, 2023Implemented robust data ingestion frameworks using Python and Azure Data Factory to consolidate financial statements, macroeconomic indicators, and historical rating data from diverse sources. Designed scalable feature engineering pipelines using Pandas, NumPy, and PySpark for risk modeling and temporal analysis. Built and deployed predictive ML solutions (classification, regression, clustering) to improve credit risk assessment, rating outlooks, and issuer performance tracking. Developed deep learning models (LSTM, GRU, CNN) to extract insights from financial narratives and disclosures. Productionized ML models as scalable RESTful services via FastAPI and Flask on AKS, ensuring low latency and high availability. Implemented SHAP/LIME-based interpretability and built end-to-end MLOps with Azure ML, MLflow, and Azure DevOps. Built data ingestion pipelines for structured/unstructured data (contracts, claims, policies) enabling downstream AI/ML. Achieved ~18% improvement in predictive acc
