@kushagrapandya
AI Engineer at TSS Consultancy shipping liveness and deepfake detection systems into production.
What I'm looking for
At TSS Consultancy, I build computer vision and GenAI systems that run in production, not just in notebooks. I shipped a passive liveness detection system with 93% accuracy and 0.5-second inference, along with an identity-document classifier handling about 50K API hits a day.
I also developed multilingual OCR across eight Indian languages and a deepfake detector, and I’ve been moving from single models to agentic systems. I built SmartIngest, a LangGraph document pipeline with guardrails and an evaluation CI gate, and RecruitRadar, a five-agent CrewAI screener with auditable scoring.
