Designed and delivered an agentic AI platform for banking operations using Python, LangChain, LangGraph, and Azure OpenAI to automate case handling, policy lookup, and internal knowledge retrieval. Built multi-step agents with tool calling, RAG, and workflow orchestration for consistent, explainable analyst decision support. Developed secure FastAPI services exposing LLM endpoints, retrieval APIs, and agent workflows. Implemented semantic search over internal documents using embeddings, FAISS, pgvector, and PostgreSQL. Added guardrails and output validation for regulated use, and used a LangGraph multi-agent architecture (planning, retrieval, validation, response) for control and traceability. Built document intelligence pipelines for PDFs and other inputs using OCR preprocessing and structured extraction. Created evaluation workflows for grounding and hallucination checks with human-in-the-loop review. Containerized services with Docker and deployed via Kubernetes with CI/CD automatio
Software Engineer at Genpact
