Powell Molleti
@powellmolleti
Senior ML/GenAI engineer building reliable production AI systems.
What I'm looking for
I am a senior ML and GenAI engineer who ships 0→1 enterprise AI products with a bias for reliability, observability, and speed from prototype to production.
I have built multi-agent systems, secure tool integrations using MCP, and production RAG pipelines that measurably improve workflows for large organizations. I specialize in model adaptation (SFT/QLoRA), LLM ops, and distributed data systems on AWS.
My experience spans principal and senior engineering roles across industry and consulting engagements, delivering SDKs used by over 1,000 customers, architecting MCP servers and clients, and deploying fine-tuned large models for domain-specific applications.
I focus on pragmatic engineering: standardizing prompts, retries, telemetry, and test harnesses (DeepEval) to make AI systems auditable, debuggable, and production-ready.
Experience
Work history, roles, and key accomplishments
Building a 0→1 multi-agent framework integrating open and closed models to automate marketing workflows and designing data and prompt pipelines to provide trustworthy context and telemetry for production agents.
Developed a Python SDK and backend multi-agent framework using LLaMA 3.1 inference, delivered MCP end-to-end integrations for enterprise tools, and exposed RAG data and actions as audited, schema-validated resources for production use by 1000+ customers.
