# Kranthi k

**Headline:** Professional profile
**Location:** Denver, CO, USA

## About

Kranthi k is a backend and infrastructure engineer with hands-on AI experience, specializing in the systems that support retrieval-augmented generation \(RAG\) applications. Kranthi builds backend platforms, ingestion pipelines, and retrieval workflows, with particular experience applying advanced retrieval techniques to improve how AI systems find and use information. For a Fortune 500 client, Kranthi built the backend and ingestion capabilities for a RAG platform using hybrid search and re-ranking. Kranthi also built and deployed an AI task-creation platform MVP that received positive user reception. Their work reflects practical judgment in diagnosing difficult multi-hop RAG challenges and balancing accuracy and latency tradeoffs. Kranthi’s combination of backend ownership, infrastructure engineering, AI implementation, and MVP delivery suggests a strong fit for founding-engineer opportunities with meaningful ownership. Kranthi indicated readiness to begin within a week.
