AI Research and Systems Engineering

Shiv Kiran Bagathi

Exploring AI Systems, Stories, and Art.

I design and ship robust software systems for generative AI, LLM tooling, and AI infrastructure. My work blends research depth with production discipline.

Focus Areas

Building AI systems that stay fast, reliable, and human-centered.

I work across the stack from model behavior and retrieval pipelines to compiler and systems-level optimization. My interests include LLM quality, latency-aware architecture, and deployment-ready experimentation.

Generative AI Systems

End-to-end orchestration of STT, RAG, and TTS workflows for real-time conversational assistants.

LLM Evaluation and Tooling

Designing practical evaluation signals and constrained decoding strategies for safer, higher-quality outputs.

AI Infrastructure

Production-minded architecture with deterministic testing, observability, and low-latency delivery in mind.
