IIM Kozhikode
MBA · India

India's #3 business school. Not because I wanted to leave engineering — because I wanted to understand why good technology so often fails to land. It's almost never the technology.

What I've Built

Systems in production. Not slides.

Multi-agent SRE System
Monitors and auto-heals infrastructure 24/7. No human on call. No ticket queue. Just uptime.
Production · Financial Services
Python LangGraph Prometheus PagerDuty API
Agentic RAG Chatbot
Consolidated environment management across 6 systems into a single conversational interface for engineering teams. Eliminated context-switching. Reduced resolution time.
Production · Enterprise
RAG Vector DB Azure OpenAI FastAPI
Fraud Detection Agent
LLM + ensemble ML pipeline for real-time fraud detection. Live on Google Agents Marketplace. Built for a regulated financial environment.

Ventures

What I'm building beyond the day job.

OpenCausality
Active

Causal AI research and open source tooling.

Prediction tells you what's next.
Generation creates it.
Causality tells you what to do about it.

The missing layer for enterprise AI.

NeuroD
In Development

AI companion for people living with mental illness.

Predictive, generative, and causal AI working together — for minds that need more than a chatbot.

→ neurod.co.uk
Causaly
In Development

Causal intelligence for cloud operations.

Not just what broke — but why, and what to do about it.

Let's talk.

I'm interested in hard problems in regulated environments, AI systems that actually run in production, and the space between technical execution and executive decision-making.
