She currently co\-leads AI Engine Lab backend and data architecture at Women Applying AI and serves as a community member, while also building AI and backend systems at Mitig8it\. Neha is strongest at grounding models in live operational data, designing tool\-using agents, securing AI and developer workflows, and defining evaluation before prompt work\. At Thingbits Electronics, she took an agentic support assistant from prototype to production, supporting roughly 1,000 weekly queries and resolving 60% of manual customer\-support work end to end she also reduced p95 latency by 40%\. At Mitig8it, Neha built a GitHub\-native security\-review platform with a three\-tier pipeline spanning regex heuristics, OpenGrep/Semgrep analysis, and LLM triage\. Her work also includes Forge, a multi\-agent orchestration CLI on PyPI, and A2AWall, a published TypeScript SDK that adds gateway security controls to Google’s A2A protocol\. Neha is seeking AI engineering roles focused on agent systems, AI infrastructure, or security automation\. ## Services - LLM evaluation - LoRA - LangChain - Reinforcement Learning Human Feedback \(RLHF\) -
