the real world.
Most AI pilots never reach production. I build the ones that do, and the platforms that keep them running.

What teams
bring me in for.
For teams moving AI into a real product, improving what’s already running, or building the platform to support it.
Make quality and cost visible
Evaluation and tracing that turn model, prompt, and retrieval choices into decisions you can defend.

Cloud infrastructure, delivery pipelines, and observability designed for the people who run them.

From documents to
usable intelligence.
A multi-tenant document platform needed to make complex files useful in chat, while respecting who could access them and what it cost to process them.
I built ingestion, structure-aware chunking, hybrid retrieval, and streaming agent workflows, with tenant isolation and permissions enforced in retrieval.
The engineering decisions
Instrument the pipeline before optimizing it. Per-stage tracing exposed the expensive extraction calls; reducing call volume, narrowing the entity schema, and using prompt caching cut inference spend. Human-in-the-loop workflows let the agent pause for user input.
The supplier connects a source document, a service, a region, and supporting evidence.

Making inference cheaper
and proving quality held.
Cheaper model calls are only useful if the report still does its job. I built an evaluation bench before changing the report-generation pipeline.
Repeatable comparisons, an LLM judge, cost attribution, and promoted baselines made it possible to evaluate model, retrieval, and prompt changes together.
What the result means
The measured 39.6% reduction combined three winning changes, with quality inside the evaluation’s baseline band. Failed experiments and corrected conclusions stayed in the record. This is a result from that evaluation, not a guarantee across other workloads.

The platform behind
the product.
As the product grew, the platform needed a repeatable way to deploy, scale, and operate across regions.
I led the move from ECS to EKS and built infrastructure as code, GitOps delivery, autoscaling, and a shared observability stack, then delivered production rollouts in the US, Australia, and Europe.
Operating beyond the rollout
Ownership continued through fleet upgrades and cross-region content distribution. Phased release playbooks, disruption budgets, idempotent operations, and stale-data fallbacks made failure handling part of the design. Traces, metrics, logs, and alerts supported day-to-day operation.

An engineer who
owns the whole picture.
I’m Sree, an Engineering Lead based in Hyderabad, India. My work connects AI product decisions with the systems, teams, and operating practices that make them hold up.
I’ve taken a product from concept to market, led 13 engineers, and built developer tools that make a team’s knowledge easier to use. I care about clear handoffs and helping other engineers grow. That work earned a Best Mentor Award and a CEO’s Award at Xyenta.
