Alok Karn
@alokkarn
Full-stack AI and backend engineer building production-ready RAG and REST APIs—remote-ready across time zones.
What I'm looking for
I’m a third-year Computer Science student with production-grade experience building and deploying full-stack AI and backend systems independently. I’m driven by solving real constraints—especially RAG hallucination—by designing architectures that retrieve structured facts and keep answers citation-backed.
From scratch, I designed a hybrid knowledge graph + RAG pipeline that combines Neo4j, vector search, and LLM routing, then delivered it end-to-end with a FastAPI backend and Streamlit frontend—fully deployed to cloud. I also built a secure university rankings REST API with role-based access control using JWT, including normalized relational modeling and SQL JOIN query aggregation.
I’m an async-native, solo end-to-end builder who ships from problem definition to production with minimal supervision. Based in Nepal (UTC+5:45), I’m comfortable collaborating asynchronously with clear PRs, written documentation, and structured updates, and I’m actively seeking remote internship or contractor engagements in AI/backend engineering.
Experience
Work history, roles, and key accomplishments
University Rankings REST API
Independent Project
Developed a secure REST API for university rankings and peer reviews with role-based access control using JWT. Designed the relational schema, implemented async request handling, and delivered Dockerized deployment to Render with GitHub-based CI/CD.
Hybrid Knowledge Graph QA
Independent Project
Built a hybrid document QA system combining Neo4j knowledge-graph retrieval with vector search to reduce hallucinations and enable citation-backed answers. Owned the end-to-end pipeline (ingestion, chunking, KG extraction, query routing) and deployed a FastAPI + Streamlit application to the cloud.
