About

I’m Teja Chakilam, a Data Scientist and GenAI Engineer with 7+ years of experience building predictive modeling and Generative AI solutions that teams can trust. I work across the full lifecycle—from data pipelines and feature engineering to model evaluation, deployment, and continuous improvements—using Python, SQL, and modern cloud platforms like AWS, Azure, and Databricks.

In recent roles, I’ve built RAG-powered applications and multi-agent workflows (using LangChain/LangGraph) for enterprise use cases such as sales enablement, banking operations, and internal knowledge assistants. I focus on measurable outcomes—improving grounding and factual accuracy, reducing routing/fallback errors, lowering end-to-end latency, and maintaining production reliability—while translating complex analytics into actionable recommendations for stakeholders.
