Narayan’s work centers on designing, validating, evaluating, and shipping practical AI and full\-stack software solutions\. At Syracuse, Narayan designed an iterative self\-correcting agentic RAG system with LangChain, LangGraph, and ChromaDB, using specialized retrieval, reasoning, and verification agents\. The system achieved 92% routing accuracy on multi\-hop queries and reduced incomplete responses by 35% through pre\-act planning and question decomposition\. Narayan also built an automated IoT threat\-detection pipeline using fine\-tuned small language models that improved classification accuracy by 23\.4 percentage points over an XGBoost baseline while reaching 129 ms edge\-hardware inference latency\. Narayan has two FLAIRS\-39 publications: a full paper on the RAG system and a short paper on IoT threat detection\. Previously, Narayan was a Software Engineer Intern at Panvel Municipal Corporation, where Narayan delivered a responsive solid\-waste\-management frontend used by more than 5,000 people daily and improved reporting, performance, deployment, and operational monitoring\. Narayan holds a Master’s degree in Computer Science from Syracuse University and is open to Software Engineer and AI Engineer roles\. ## Services - Engineering Education - Travel Planning - Platform Integration - Site Waste Management Plans - Computer Engineering - Java - Waste Management - C\+\+ - Chatbot Design - Solid Waste Management - Volleyball - Full\-Stack Development - Artificial Intelligence \(AI\) - Stack - Computer Literacy - Computer Science Education ## Highlights - Designed an iterative self\-correcting agentic RAG system with LangChain, LangGraph, and ChromaDB at Syracuse University\. - Built specialized retrieval, reasoning, and verification agents for the agentic RAG system\. - Achieved 92% routing accuracy on multi\-hop queries with the agentic RAG system\. - Reduced incomplete responses by 35% through pre\-act planning and question decomposition\. - Built an automated IoT threat\-detection pipeline using fine\-tuned small language models\. - Improved IoT threat\-detection classification accuracy by 23\.4 percentage points over an XGBoost baseline: 76\.9% versus 53\.6%\. - Achieved 129 ms inference latency for the IoT threat\-detection pipeline on edge hardware\. - Published two FLAIRS\-39 papers: a full paper on agentic RAG and a short paper on IoT threat detection\. - Implemented an AST\-based pre\-execution validator for missing imports, invalid column references, and encoding errors without extra LLM calls or latency\. - Evaluated AI system performance with DeepEval, baseline RAG comparisons, multiple test cases, and LLM\-as\-judge scoring\. - Designed and implemented a responsive React\.js frontend for Panvel Municipal Corporation’s solid\-waste\-management platform\. - Improved accessibility for more than 5,000 daily users across desktop and mobile\. - Integrated RESTful APIs for real\-time synchronization between municipal servers and the frontend\. - Reduced municipal reporting delays by 40% and improved operational transparency by 20%\. - Reduced average frontend load time from 3\.5 seconds to under 2\.5 seconds through code\-splitting, lazy loading, caching, and image compression\. - Improved user experience by 25% through frontend performance optimization\. - Containerized the municipal application with Docker and established CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions and Jenkins\. - Cut release times by 50% through deployment automation\. - Used AWS CloudWatch and Docker logs to proactively resolve more than 10 runtime issues before end users encountered them\. ## Experience - **Graduate Research Assistant at Syracuse University** (2025–2026) — Designed an iterative self\-correcting agentic RAG system using LangChain, LangGraph, and ChromaDB, with specialized retrieval, reasoning, and verification agents achieved 92% routing accuracy on multi\-hop queries and reduced incomplete responses by 35% via pre\-act planning and question decomposition\. \(Full paper, FLAIRS\-39\) Built an automated IoT threat detection pipeline using fine\-tuned small language models, improving classification accuracy by 23\.4 percentage points over an XGBoost baseline \(76\.9% vs\. 53\.6%\) while running at 129ms inference latency on edge hardware\. \(Short paper, FLAIRS\-39\) Implemented an AST\-based pre\-execution validator to catch missing imports, invalid column references, and encoding errors before code execution, adding no extra LLM calls or latency\.
