Nikitha specializes in scalable RAG pipelines, multi-agent workflows, LLM orchestration, and cloud deployment, with end-to-end ownership spanning Python and FastAPI services, LLM integration, APIs, and AWS infrastructure. At LuxOneX, Nikitha architects LangChain- and LlamaIndex-based agent workflows for document retrieval, compliance-artifact generation, and SOC2/NIST validation. Nikitha also designs systems with distinct retrieval, reasoning, and validation stages to improve reliability, auditability, and evidence-driven quality. A production compliance-validation system achieved 91% retrieval recall and 88% groundedness, while optimized RAG work reduced hallucinations by approximately 30% and AWS backend deployment reduced latency by approximately 50%. Earlier, Nikitha built voice-biometric authentication systems serving more than 10,000 monthly users and developed UAV ground-control software that reduced telemetry-processing time by 25%. Nikitha is interested in broader product-impact work involving scalable engineering, reliability, performance, and full-lifecycle AI systems. ## Services - PostgreSQL - MySQL - ChromaDB - FAISS - System design -
