Retrieval & RankingEnterprise AI Systems

Adaptive Retrieval & Specialist Routing

Confidence-gated routing for overlapping retrieval paths with a safe default

Enterprise queries can map to overlapping specialist paths, while traffic imbalance makes aggregate accuracy misleading.

  • Treat specialist routes as high-confidence overrides instead of forcing every query into a narrow class.
  • Combine deterministic, lexical, and semantic evidence, then fall back safely when the routing signal is weak.

Document Intelligence & RAGEnterprise AI Systems

Grounded Document Intelligence

Progressive document ingestion and source-grounded AI over user-controlled collections

Private document collections become harder to search and reason over as ingestion, structure, scale, and source boundaries grow more complex.

  • Make documents useful progressively instead of blocking on the slowest ingestion stage.
  • Preserve structure, metadata, and source scope so retrieval remains both useful and traceable.

Semantic Cache & Reliability Layer

Precision-first reuse of previous answers and retrieval results

Repeated and semantically similar requests create unnecessary retrieval and model work, but a false reuse decision can return convincing context for the wrong entity, time, or scope.

  • Treat semantic reuse as a retrieval-safety problem rather than nearest-neighbor caching.
  • Use entity, time, scope, and freshness constraints to decide whether a candidate can be reused safely.

PEER-REVIEWED RESEARCH

Featured Applied Research

Published work combining a compact ReLU network with mixed-integer optimization for tomographic reconstruction. The network learns local edge intensity, and its learned behavior is encoded as optimization constraints to sharpen interfaces while retaining a physically grounded reconstruction objective.

High-quality tomographic image reconstruction integrating neural networks and mathematical optimization

A learned local edge prior encoded as mixed-integer constraints for sparse-view tomography

A compact ReLU network is trained to approximate local edge intensity from image patches, then translated into a mixed-integer formulation and integrated with an optimization-based reconstruction pipeline. The resulting method improves edge sharpness and material homogeneity while preserving explicit control over reconstruction fidelity.

EXPERIENCE

Engineering Experience

Building production AI and distributed backend systems across regulated financial workflows and enterprise software.

Senior Associate — Technology (AI/ML)

Synechron · Goldman Sachs engagement · Bengaluru, India

Oct 2025 – Present

Building retrieval, grounding, query-intelligence, and reliability layers for GenAI workflows in a regulated financial environment.

  • Designed hybrid retrieval and routing flows that combine deterministic patterns, lexical search, and semantic retrieval so different query types can take the path best suited to them.
  • Built query-understanding and reuse layers using semantic caching, entity extraction, and temporal resolution to reduce redundant model work and improve retrieval consistency.
  • Developed evaluation and fallback mechanisms for retrieval quality, grounding, freshness, and failure handling so production workflows degrade predictably rather than silently.

Software Engineer

Winshuttle (now Precisely) · India

Jul 2017 – May 2022

Built backend services and distributed data-processing systems for enterprise SAP automation products.

  • Developed high-throughput ETL and backend services for processing large volumes of SAP business data across distributed enterprise workflows.
  • Built fault-tolerant asynchronous processing with RabbitMQ, retries, dead-letter handling, and restartable workflows for long-running operations.
  • Improved processing and delivery reliability through distributed-service design, CI/CD automation, containerization, and production-focused testing.
