Production AI systems for complex, real-world problems.

Siddharth Deshpande
01 Hi, I’m Siddharth 12 years turning ambiguous business problems into production systems — ERPs, AI platforms, multi-agent pipelines — across startups and enterprise.
02 From problem to production I work the full path from ambiguous problem to production: understanding the problem, designing the system, building it, deploying it, and iterating once people are using it.
03 I own the outcome I don't just write code; I own the outcome end to end.

30% cloud spend reduced
What I Build

Four kinds of problem keep landing on my desk.

#EnterpriseAI

Enterprise AI

People who need an answer cannot get it, because the answer lives behind SQL, five admin screens, or someone else’s calendar.

Production RAG, GraphRAG, agent orchestration, and LLM applications that run against live business data.

Multi-Agent Conversational AI →
#DataKnowledgeSystems

Data & Knowledge Systems

The knowledge exists, but it is spread across thousands of unstructured documents with no schema and no shared vocabulary.

Large-scale document processing, entity and relationship extraction, graph-based retrieval, and vector search.

GraphRAG Knowledge Engine →
#ProductionSystems

Production Systems

A system the whole company runs on, all day, where an hour of downtime means shipments stop.

Cloud architecture, distributed systems, APIs, data pipelines, and the observability to know when they degrade.

Secure Logistics ERP →
#SecureAI

Secure AI

An AI system that can read the database can read the wrong tenant’s data. The access model has to be part of the design.

Permission-aware generation, post-generation query rewriting, read-only validation, and enterprise access control.

Permission rewrite on generated SQL →

Work.

Production systems across knowledge graphs, multi-agent AI, FinOps, search, logistics, and analytics — from 0-to-1 through enterprise scale.

Multi-Agent Conversational AI Ask a building a question in plain English — five specialist agents over a 4 TB operations database, instead of five admin screens.

Supervisor pattern routing to 5 specialized agents — Reporting, Admin, System Setup, Knowledge, and Support Tickets — across ~30 registry-driven tools. Natural-language SQL with permission rewrite, seven-collection RAG, 100+ report types, SignalR streaming of the reasoning trace.

Problem.
4 TB database with no usable natural-language interface
Hardest constraint.
Generated SQL runs against live production data, so read-only validation and post-generation permission rewrite are non-negotiable
Approach.
Supervisor agent routes to 5 specialized agents — never answers itself
Key decision.
Supervisor pattern, not a single monolithic agent

AI Code Review Pipeline Automated code reviews that catch patterns humans miss, across 10+ languages.

Automatically reviews pull requests with inline comments and star ratings. 10+ languages, penalty-based scoring, fix verification mode.

Cloud Cost Intelligence Agent Finding out why the cloud bill moved — every night, before anyone has to ask. Identified 30% savings across the Azure estate.

Nightly FinOps agent: 19 collectors across 3 phases, 13 anomaly detectors, 4-tier breach thresholds. 20+ standing questions answered deterministically; an LLM handles only the reasoning. Unused resources, query cost attribution, and rightsizing — 30% cost reduction.

Problem.

Hardest constraint.
Attribution has to be defensible: a wrong cost claim sends an engineer down a multi-day dead end

Key decision.
Deterministic answers first, LLM only where reasoning is required

Infrastructure Performance Agent Catching service degradation before users notice it — nightly analysis of Azure Monitor metrics and SQL telemetry.

Composite health score (0–100) per service. Rolling 30-day baselines for regression detection. Nightly collection of Azure Monitor metrics and SQL DMV telemetry sampled at 15-second intervals, 13 anomaly checks, 4-tier breach thresholds — surfacing degradation before impact.

About me

12 years turning ambiguous business problems into production systems — ERPs, AI platforms, multi-agent pipelines — across startups and enterprise.

I don't just write code; I own the outcome end to end.

I've spent 12 years building software with the people who use it. I've been the direct client interface since 2016, gathering requirements, running demos, and shipping the system that came out of those conversations. Today I run three client engagements simultaneously as an Architect. The pattern hasn't changed since I was an intern at a college incubation center: find the problem nobody's solving, take full ownership, and ship a production system people depend on every day.

Start from the problem Requirements come from the people doing the work. I've been the direct client interface since 2016, gathering requirements, running demos for stakeholders, and shipping the system that came out of those conversations. Three client engagements run in parallel today, and my team put me up for a Leadership Excellence award for how that work gets done.
Architect and build End-to-end design of production systems, from database schema through API layer to deployment pipeline. I've architected ERPs, AI platforms, analytics engines, and multi-agent systems serving thousands of users daily, within the access model and infrastructure the business already runs on.
Ship and operate 7 AI agents and 5 production AI systems shipped, then watched in production: health scoring, regression baselines, and nightly anomaly detection. A 4-week release cadence run monthly, a DigitalOcean-to-AWS migration completed in 3 months after a security incident, and zero-downtime scaling from hundreds to 2,500 daily users.
Hire and enable 20+ engineers hired and mentored, including campus hires. I've grown with a company from 10 to 55 people, led campus hiring for 4 years, run 10 community meetups on Saturdays, and left non-technical staff querying a 4 TB database on their own.
