Hello! I’m Akhil, a Generative AI & Machine Learning Engineer with 8+ years of delivering production-grade AI systems across healthcare, retail, and financial services. I lead end-to-end ML lifecycles—from problem framing and data pipelines to LLM fine-tuning, RAG architectures, MLOps, and enterprise-scale inference optimization. I have architected RAG systems with LangChain, LlamaIndex, FAISS, and Pinecone; built GenAI agents and chatbots with memory, tools, guardrails, and policy checks; implemented governance and evaluation frameworks; and mentored teams on RAG patterns, prompt engineering, and safe AI usage. I enjoy turning complex problems into scalable AI solutions that empower product teams.
