Production AI systems for complex, real-world problems.
01Hi, I’m Siddharth12 years turning ambiguous business problems into production systems — ERPs, AI platforms, multi-agent pipelines — across startups and enterprise.
02From problem to productionI 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.
03I own the outcomeI don't just write code; I own the outcome end to end.
Multi-Agent Conversational AIAsk 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.
Cloud Cost Intelligence AgentFinding 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.
Attribution has to be defensible: a wrong cost claim sends an engineer down a multi-day dead end
Approach.
19 collectors across 3 dependency phases — six Azure APIs, SQL DMVs, and the app database
Key decision.
Deterministic answers first, LLM only where reasoning is required
Infrastructure Performance AgentCatching 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.
Capturing clicks, mouse movements, text input, navigation and URL transitions to reconstruct actual user workflows. Built the entire stack from scratch.
Tools I build in public — agent kits, package managers, review pipelines, libraries, and UI
plugins other engineers actually use.

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.
At Apra Labs, I joined as a Senior Software Engineer and now serve as Architect. I've built the AI and data platform layer for a unified facility management product serving 300+ US facilities. This includes a GraphRAG knowledge engine over 20K support documents, a multi-agent conversational AI system querying a 4 TB database, an automated code review pipeline, a cloud cost intelligence agent that reduced Azure spend by 30%, and an infrastructure performance agent. I manage 3 clients simultaneously and mentor a team of 4 engineers.
Before that, I spent 3 years at MildlyClassic, where I built a mission-critical logistics ERP from scratch — Finance, Operations, Booking, Hub Management, CRM, Route Planning — that grew to 2,500 daily users handling 70,000 dockets per month for secure jewellery logistics across India. I hired 7 engineers and established the engineering process from the ground up.
Earlier, I co-founded UXgage, a behavioral analytics startup that won a ₹5L cash prize from Sandbox Startups in 6 months, with office space and Azure infrastructure granted separately. I also founded Samvit Learning, a software training institute during my MCA, where I trained 250+ students in web programming.
The title on my contract says Architect, and the architecture work is the part I would not want to give up. But the shape of the job has been drifting for years, further from diagrams and further into sitting with the people who have the problem, prototyping something rough enough to argue with, and then owning it through deployment and whatever it does in production afterwards. That is close enough to the definition of forward deployed engineering, and it is the work I want more of.
Start from the problemRequirements 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 buildEnd-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 operate7 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 enable20+ 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.
