Lead Engineer — GenAI
Elastiq AI · Bangalore, India
Jan 2025 — Present
Lead the architecture and development of Discover, an enterprise RAG platform spanning ingestion, retrieval, ranking, agentic reasoning, and access control across cloud providers.
- Designed and shipped a ReAct-style reasoning agent for natural-language analytics — surfaces key insights as the final answer, generates large-tabular insight payloads, and harvests delegated-agent and web references into inline citations; added an orchestrator / sub-agent role toggle to the agent canvas.
- Built a stateless Streamable-HTTP MCP server exposing retrieval as tools (
ask, search, aggregate_jira/confluence), secured with OAuth 2.1 resource-server auth (Keycloak JWT) and Kubernetes liveness probes.
- Engineered a staged connector-ingestion pipeline (fetch → Docling parse → contextualise → embed) with windowed processing and per-knowledge-base tuning presets; delivered Jira, Confluence, S3 and SVN connectors behind a unified experience.
- Researched and implemented Citus DB for distributed, enterprise-scale Postgres workloads and migrated the backend to a production gunicorn multi-worker server.
- Onboarded the first enterprise client for the Text2SQL solution; mentor a cross-functional team on data pipelines, LLM fine-tuning, and deployment strategy.
