About

I’m Laxmi Bhavani G, an Azure AI Engineer based in Canada, with 2+ years of hands-on experience building Azure AI and Generative AI solutions and 6+ years of broader Azure/cloud engineering experience. I specialize in designing secure, enterprise-ready solutions using Azure OpenAI, Azure AI Foundry, LLMs, prompt engineering, and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) with vector embeddings and vector search, often packaged as reusable Python services and REST APIs.

I’ve also supported governed enterprise adoption of AI assistants like ChatGPT, Claude, and Microsoft Copilot, with a strong focus on identity, security, and monitoring using Entra ID, Managed Identity, RBAC, Key Vault, and Azure-native observability tools. Beyond AI development, I build and automate cloud infrastructure and deployments using Terraform/Bicep, CI/CD pipelines, and Kubernetes (AKS), collaborating with cloud, data, DevOps, security, application, and AI teams in Agile environments to deliver reliable, scalable outcomes.
