@alapputatunda
Founding AI Engineer building production RAG, semantic search, and multi-agent systems that are fast, reliable, and cost-efficient.
What I'm looking for
I’m a results-driven Founding AI Engineer and Full-Stack Developer with 6+ years of experience taking complex technical projects from concept to production. I bridge traditional software architecture with advanced machine learning to deliver high-performing websites, mobile applications, and generative AI solutions.
I build end-to-end systems—from an empty repo to deployed and monitored—across Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) and semantic search over vector stores, multi-provider LLM orchestration, and autonomous multi-agent workflows. As the founder of Scale with Alap, I ship reliable, cost-efficient products by architecting and directing AI coding agents and the backend, billing, and observability that keep them running.
My work includes a flagship 24/7 omnichannel AI lead-capture, qualification & booking platform across 9 channels, plus multi-LLM voice + text agents using cost- and latency-aware model selection. I’ve also co-founded a registered pharmaceutical company (technology leadership end to end) and continue to value high ownership, fast iteration, and production-grade reliability.
