About

Collabs: [email protected] Hi, I’m Shivani. AI Engineer | Specialising in RAG, Context Engineering & Agentic Systems | Founder, NeoSage I help engineers and founders understand and build production-grade LLM systems that actually work. What I write about: - RAG architectures, retrieval, ranking & evaluation - Context engineering (the layer most teams overlook) - Agentic AI & tool-using systems - AI system design, patterns, and reasoning frameworks 🎯 Who I am Ex-Microsoft/AWS/Adobe engineer building secure distributed systems and user-facing intelligence features. Now full-time in AI engineering education and NeoSage — where I teach the systems behind reliable, scalable LLM applications. 🚀 What I do I break down advanced AI engineering into actionable mental models, design blueprints, and repeatable frameworks. If you're building RAG, improving accuracy, or designing agents, my content will make you better. 🌍 Why I do it Because AI isn’t magic, it’s systems engineering. And the world needs more people who can bridge the gap between research and actual application. Let’s build the future of intelligent systems together.
