§00 · Agentic AI Engineer at Onit · India

I build reliable production AI systems.

I build Python and FastAPI backend services that connect agents to enterprise workflows, with evaluation and observability guiding every release.

A task enters the orchestrator, which fans out to extract, judge and adjust steps. Their results meet at an evaluation gate; passing work ships, and a regression loops back to the orchestrator.

The model is only part of the system.

My work sits where AI behavior meets software engineering. I build the agent, define what good looks like, trace how it behaves in production, and use that evidence to make the next release better.

Invoice Review Agent, September 2026: speed and cost compared with the previous Gemini 2.5 Pro version. Quality scores are measured on the evaluation set.

01

Production agents

I build conversational, RAG, and multi-agent backend services in Python and FastAPI, deployed independently and integrated with enterprise services over HTTP.

02

Evaluation and reliability

I calibrate LLM judges against expert labels, compare models on golden datasets, and use regression gates to decide what is ready to ship.

03

AI application engineering

I ship APIs, streaming, structured outputs, provider abstractions, and cloud runtimes, with AWS SQS queues controlling invoice processing within provider rate limits.

Invoice Review Agent

Onit · Production agent and evaluation system

2.5× faster vs. Gemini 2.5 Pro50% lower costF1: 0.73 to 0.85

Rebuilt an agent that detects billing disputes and recommends adjustments, cutting processing time by 82% and token usage by 56% at 93% line-item accuracy. In the subsequent GPT-6 Sol migration, we compared models on the existing evaluation set and tuned prompts and code. Relative to the Gemini 2.5 Pro version, processing is now 2.5× faster at half the cost, dispute-detection F1 rose from 0.73 to 0.85, and the adjustment agent reached 100% accuracy on the evaluation set.

Receipt validation

Onit · Parallel invoice-review workflow

Receipt-to-line-item matchingGuideline-based validation

Designed and built a receipt-validation flow that extracts structured data from PDF, Word, JPEG, and PNG receipts, associates each receipt with its expense line item, and checks client guideline requirements. It runs alongside invoice review and combines missing-receipt disputes with the billing disputes shown to the user.

Onit · Legal operations analytics agent

MCP data toolsProduction observabilityMulti-provider runtime

Built a conversational analytics agent that uses MCP data tools to answer spend and operational questions over enterprise data. Added multi-provider model support, production tracing, prompt and model comparison, and deployment on Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Runtime.

04

Requirements to user stories

Onit · Multi-agent workflow

~2 weeks to ~10 minutesStructured, reviewable output

Built a multi-agent system that converts long requirements documents into structured user stories, automating a high-effort product workflow while keeping the output reviewable.

05

QA automation migration

Onit · AI-assisted engineering

~1 year of work in 3 weeksRecurring licensing cost removed

Drove the migration of QA automation across two enterprise product lines, using agentic coding for translation, refactoring, and validation while removing recurring tool licensing costs.

Building AI that has to work in the real world?

I am looking for roles with meaningful ownership across agent engineering, evaluation, and production AI reliability. For UK opportunities, I am based in India and require Skilled Worker sponsorship to relocate.
