At Doug AI, Tanush built production AI agents for two YC-backed companies, combining feature development with the rigorous infrastructure needed to operate AI systems beyond a demo. Tanush is particularly strong at debugging complex retrieval-quality problems, including chunking and ranking failures, tracing issues through end-to-end pipelines to identify root causes rather than applying superficial patches. He builds regression tests from failures and uses automated evaluation harnesses, structured-output validation, and monitoring to verify that fixes hold. Tanush has also built LLM extraction pipelines and scoring and ranking systems. His automated evaluation systems and test suites reduced hallucinated AI outputs by 28%. Tanush works in Python and TypeScript and approaches production AI with the understanding that deterministic software infrastructure and evaluation are as important as the model itself. His work is split approximately 40% on new features and 60% on evaluation, debugging, and reliability. ## Highlights - Built production AI agents for two YC-backed companies at Doug AI. - Reduced hallucinated AI outputs by 28% through automated evaluation systems and test suites. - Debugged retrieval-quality failures involving chunking and ranking by tracing root causes through end-to-end pipelines. - Built regression tests from production failures to prevent retrieval and AI-quality issues from recurring. - Built LLM extraction pipelines and scoring and ranking systems. - Developed hands-on expertise in agent logic, retrieval workflows, tool use, structured-output validation, monitoring, and evaluation harnesses. - Works with Python and TypeScript. - Allocates approximately 40% of work to new features and 60% to evaluation, debugging, and reliability work. ## FAQ ### What does Tanush do?
