Naveen Badiger
@naveenbadiger
AI/ML engineer building production-ready LLM, RAG, and cryptographic privacy systems.
What I'm looking for
I’m an AI/ML engineer focused on LLM systems, RAG architectures, and production AI infrastructure—where reliability, security, and measurable results matter. I’ve spent 3+ years shipping production infrastructure and now channel that experience into end-to-end deployment of LLM applications.
In open source, I build agentic and cryptographic tooling that’s designed to run in real environments. I created an AI-Powered Diagnostic Agent that uses grounded retrieval over Kubernetes logs and cut MTTR by 60%, and I shipped QUANTUM-PULSE to PyPI—a compress-then-encrypt cryptographic LLM data vault with CI validated coverage and automated integration tests.
Professionally, I’ve managed AWS infrastructure supporting 100+ API services with 99.9% uptime, and I built CI/CD pipelines that reduced deployment time by 45%. Today, I’m also building novus.forge and working on zero-knowledge privacy systems and enterprise RAG with auditable provenance—so teams can move faster without sacrificing trust.
