My professional journey

Founding AI Engineer

Future Path AI

Cupertino, CA
January 2024 — Present
  • Built real-time voice and chat agents integrated with Microsoft Teams and SIP telephony, orchestrating text-to-speech and speech-to-text pipelines for interruption handling and dialogue state management. Achieved around 400ms end-to-end latency at 10k+ concurrent sessions.
  • Engineered multi-tenant AI agents with a modular RAG architecture leveraging vector databases (LanceDB, Qdrant) for semantic retrieval and deployed secure on-prem solutions for Fortune 500 pharma/finance that boosted factual accuracy by 30%.
  • Developed AI-based intent classifiers integrated with various ITSM tools such as ServiceNow, Intune, MS365 to automate IT support workflows by leveraging LLMs for generative UI rendering via dynamic adaptive cards, reducing average ticket resolution time by 60% compared to manual triage processes.
  • Built follow-up suggestion and citation systems using semantic context linking and retrieval-grounded prompting, lowering ungrounded responses by 45% and improving accuracy and reliability across interactions.
