Keerthi’s strongest area is improving retrieval quality and reliability in governed RAG and agentic AI applications, including the security, evaluation, and monitoring needed to operate these systems at scale. Keerthi has shipped a production-ready governed RAG and agentic AI system with retrieval, security, evaluation, and monitoring capabilities. Keerthi also brings experience evaluating AI systems across retrieval quality, groundedness, and security, including maintaining more than 40 regression scenarios. Alongside deep AI/ML work in RAG pipelines, LLM workflows, agentic AI workflows, retrieval systems, and production AI tooling, Keerthi has a strong backend foundation in Python, FastAPI, and microservices architecture. Keerthi’s full-stack experience includes React, Next.js, TypeScript, and React Native. Keerthi enjoys solving difficult technical problems, building production systems, and collaborating cross-functionally on AI capabilities, while seeking greater end-to-end ownership without leaving hands-on AI and backend engineering. ## Highlights - Shipped a production-ready governed RAG and agentic AI system with retrieval, security, evaluation, and monitoring at scale. - Maintains more than 40 regression scenarios for AI-system evaluation. - Evaluates production AI systems across retrieval quality, groundedness, and security. - Specializes in retrieval quality, reliability, and context grounding for production AI systems. - Brings deep experience with RAG pipelines, LLM workflows, agentic AI workflows, retrieval systems, and production AI tooling. - Builds backend systems using Python, FastAPI, and microservices architecture. - Has full-stack experience with React, Next.js, TypeScript, and React Native. - Works at Dynamo AI. ## FAQ ### What does Keerthi do now?
