Kamal Kumar Sharma

At Network18, I architect and scale platforms for News18, CNBC-TV18, Moneycontrol, Firstpost, and Forbes India, supporting 50M+ daily users. I built NW18 Copilot, an enterprise GenAI platform using LLMs, LangChain, RAG, vector search, and AI agents that improved newsroom productivity by 30%.

I lead production AI architecture across agentic workflows, retrieval, tool calling, context and memory, guardrails, evaluation, grounding, and hallucination mitigation. I also drive private open-source LLM deployment on GCP, defining model serving, gateways, autoscaling, security, observability, and cost controls.

I designed Network18's Azure-to-GCP migration, delivering 50% cost savings while improving reliability. My work also includes centralized video and Kafka/Debezium architectures for high-throughput, low-latency workloads, including market-data ingestion for CNBC.

Previously, I delivered IoT, streaming, face-recognition, SaaS, Android communication, and device-automation products at Kent CamEye, AgreeYa Solutions, Samsung Electronics, and Tieto Telecom. I build engineering teams, establish practical delivery workflows, and turn complex product requirements into scalable architecture.
