Panth is strongest in building and tuning retrieval-augmented generation workflows, improving backend performance, and translating deep technical work into user and business impact. At Gong, Panth architected and shipped RAG pipelines using LangChain, Pinecone, Anthropic Claude through AWS Bedrock, custom chunking, metadata filtering, and reranking. Those account-level sales-insight workflows improved grounded-answer precision by 18% and, through re-engineered ingestion and generation pipelines, reduced p95 insight-generation latency by 26% under production load. Panth also builds Responsible AI controls, backend APIs with FastAPI, and automated evaluation and monitoring practices for AI-generated outputs. Previously, Panth designed event-driven, multi-tenant backend systems at Simform and developed Django REST APIs and test coverage at TatvaSoft. Panth holds a Master of Science in Information Technology from Indiana Wesleyan University and a Bachelor of Engineering in Information Technology from Gujarat Technological University. ## Highlights - Architected and shipped LangChain, Pinecone, and Anthropic Claude-on-AWS-Bedrock RAG pipelines for account-level sales insights at Gong, improving grounded-answer precision by 18%. - Implemented custom chunking, metadata filtering, and reranking for Gong RAG workflows. - Re-engineered asynchronous ingestion, embedding, and summarization pipelines with batching, caching, and concurrency controls, cutting p95 insight-generation latency by 26% under production load. - Built LLM-serving guardrails for PII masking, citation validation, controlled fallbacks, and tool-calling schemas. - Integrated PyTest and LLM-evaluation suites into CI/CD as automated quality gates for AI-generated outputs. - Worked across system design, prompt engineering, FastAPI APIs, and production monitoring for AI-generated outputs at scale. - Designed the event-driven backbone of a multi-tenant onboarding platform at Simform using AWS Step Functions, SQS, and S3. - Reduced document-processing time by 32% at Simform while isolating failures so they did not block active customer submissions. - Improved p95 API response time by 27% through PostgreSQL query optimization, indexing strategy, and Redis caching on high-traffic workflow endpoints. - Built and maintained more than 18 REST endpoints and GraphQL resolvers with Pydantic validation and authentication for a multi-tenant system. - Developed and documented 12 Django REST API endpoints at TatvaSoft for request updates, comments, and attachments. - Reduced frontend integration issues by 20% at TatvaSoft through standardized JSON responses and validation rules. - Optimized Django ORM queries and PostgreSQL indexes across request, user, and audit modules, improving average staging response time by 22%. - Wrote PyTest unit and regression tests that caught API validation, exception-handling, and database-mapping defects before QA sign-off. ## Experience - **Software Engineer at Gong** (2025-07-01–present) — Backend & Applied AI Engineer — RAG systems, LLM orchestration, production ML infrastructure • Architected and shipped RAG pipelines \(LangChain + Pinecone + Claude via AWS Bedrock\) with custom chunking, metadata filtering, and reranking, improving grounded-answer precision by 18% for account-level sales insights used across the sales org • Re-engineered asynchronous ingestion, embedding, and summarization pipelines with batching, caching, and concurrency controls, cutting p95 insight-generation latency by 26% under production load • Built Responsible AI guardrails into the LLM serving layer PII masking, citation validation, controlled fallbacks, and tool-calling schemas and integrated PyTest/LLM-evaluation suites directly into CI/CD as automated quality gates • Operated independently across the full stack: system design, prompt engineering, backend APIs \(FastAPI\), and production monitoring for AI-generated outputs at scale - **Software Engineer Intern at TatvaSoft** (2022-06-01–2022-12-01) — Software Development Intern: Python, Django, REST API design • Developed and documented 12 REST API endpoints \(request updates, comments, attachments\) with standardized JSON responses and validation rules, reducing frontend integration issues by 20% • Optimized Django ORM queries and PostgreSQL indexes across request, user, and audit modules, improving average staging response time by 22% • Wrote PyTest unit and regression tests for core backend workflows, catching API validation, exception handling, and database-mapping defects before QA sign-off - **Python Developer at Simform** (2022-06-01–2024-07-01) — Backend Engineer: event-driven architecture, distributed systems, API design • Designed the event-driven backbone of a multi-tenant onboarding platform using AWS Step Functions, SQS, and S3, reducing document-processing time by 32% while isolating failures so they never blocked active customer submissions • Improved p95 API response time by 27% by optimizing PostgreSQL queries, indexing strategy, and Redis caching on high-traffic workflow endpoints • Built and maintained 18+ REST endpoints and GraphQL resolvers with consistent Pydantic validation and authentication, standardizing backend infrastructure across a multi-tenant system and accelerating feature delivery for the team ## Education - Master of Science, Information Technology — Indiana Wesleyan University (2024-01-01–2025-01-01) - Bachelor of Engineering, Information Technology — Gujarat Technological University (2019-01-01–2023-01-01) ## FAQ ### What does Panth do at Gong?
