I build AI-powered software that goes live inside Fortune 500 enterprises — not in demos, but in real production workflows where decisions happen. At o9 Solutions — an AI platform recognized as an IDC MarketScape Leader in supply chain planning — I work as a Full-Stack Engineer building the tools that help global manufacturers, CPG brands, and retailers manage billions of dollars in inventory and demand planning. My code doesn't live in a sandbox; it runs in multi-tenant enterprise environments where latency, reliability, and domain accuracy matter. I'm now intentionally pivoting toward Forward Deployed AI Engineering — the role that sits at the intersection of engineering, AI deployment, and client-side impact. I'm currently pursuing the PG Certificate in Forward Deployed AI Engineering from IIT Roorkee, deepening my expertise in LLM workflows, AI system design, rapid prototyping, and end-to-end AI deployment in enterprise environments. What I bring: → 8+ years building production systems (React, Node js, Microservices) → Enterprise AI platform experience at scale (o9's Digital Brain, Knowledge Graphs, Digital Twins) → Growing expertise in LLMs, GenAI workflows, and AI systems thinking → A builder's mindset — I ship, iterate, and own outcomes end-to-end I also write regularly about AI systems thinking, enterprise AI deployment patterns, and the forward deployed engineering mindset — because the biggest gap in AI isn't the model, it's the last mile. 📬 Open to: Forward Deployed AI Engineer roles, applied AI engineering, enterprise AI consulting, and conversations about deploying AI where it actually matters
