Gowtham builds multi\-step LLM pipelines that retrieve information, reason over it, and critique their own outputs rather than relying on one\-shot prompting\. His flagship work includes a self\-critiquing LangGraph agent that uses live job\-posting retrieval, FAISS\-based resume grounding, and an LLM judge to assess faithfulness and specificity before regenerating weak responses\. Its reproducible offline evaluation suite achieved a 100% pass rate and 1\.0 average faithfulness across six scenarios\. Gowtham has also developed an offline LangChain and Llama 3/Ollama document\-summarization pipeline that produces summaries in under eight seconds without confidential data leaving the organization, as well as a CNN defect\-detection system that reached 96\.4% accuracy and 91\.7% compression for real\-time inference\. Alongside graduate study, he teaches operating systems as a TA and supports NLP\-driven research\. Previously, he was a frontend developer at Phoenix Global in India, where he helped build a tutoring platform used daily by thousands of students\. ## Services - Agentic Ai - Generative AI - Prototyping - JavaScript - Java - Engine Development - Document Retrieval - Process Scheduler - Data Processing - Scheduling Algorithms - Computer Science - Summarizing Information - Python in Azure - Hyperparameter Optimization - Artificial Intelligence \(AI\) - SQL - Real\-time Monitoring - C\+\+ - TensorFlow - Pandas \(Software\) - Azure DevOps ALM - Time Evaluation - Data Extraction - Edge AI - Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery \(CI/CD\) - Azure Kubernetes Service \(AKS\) - MLflow - Lang chain - Computer Vision - FastAPI ## Highlights - Built a self\-critiquing LangGraph agent that retrieves live job postings, grounds analysis in candidate resumes through FAISS retrieval, and uses an LLM judge to score faithfulness and specificity before regeneration\. - Achieved a 100% pass rate and 1\.0 average faithfulness across six scenarios in a reproducible offline evaluation suite for the LangGraph agent\. - Built a fully offline technical\-document summarization pipeline using LangChain and Llama 3 via Ollama\. - Delivered offline summaries in under eight seconds while keeping confidential specifications from leaving the organization\. - Built a CNN defect\-detection system that achieved 96\.4% accuracy\. - Compressed the CNN defect\-detection system by 91\.7% for real\-time inference\. - Currently completing an M\.S\. in Computer Science at the University of South Florida with a 3\.50 GPA\. - Serves as a teaching assistant for operating systems and supports NLP\-driven research at the University of South Florida\. - Worked as a Frontend Developer at Phoenix Global in India, building student\-facing dashboards for a tutoring platform\. - Spent two years as the sole frontend engineer at an EdTech startup whose tutoring platform was used daily by thousands of students\. - Improved page\-load performance and mobile responsiveness to support higher user engagement on the tutoring platform\. - Built Python and JavaScript automation that reduced manual QA time and data\-entry errors\. - Developed early NLP scripts as a data intern in 2020\. - Brings experience across AI models, backend systems, and user interfaces, with frontend specialization and full\-stack capability when needed\. ## FAQ ### What does Gowtham do?
