@souravdey3
Full-stack engineer building production GenAI apps with Python, React, and RAG—scalable, cloud-native, CI/CD-driven.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Full Stack Engineer (Python + React) and Generative AI specialist with 2+ years building production-grade LLM-powered applications and RAG architectures. I focus on shipping end-to-end systems that deliver measurable improvements in retrieval quality, reliability, and speed.
At Deutsche Bank, I built an end-to-end RAG-powered enterprise search across JIRA/Confluence using LangChain and ChromaDB, deployed on GCP Vertex AI—improving retrieval efficiency by 80%. I also developed compliance AI agents with contextual embeddings (pgvector similarity search), reducing false positives by 30% and accelerating alert resolution, and built FastAPI backends with React/TypeScript frontends on GCP Cloud Run.
As Founder & Lead Full Stack AI Engineer at Cognition Catalysts, I designed and shipped 5+ LLM-powered applications using Python and FastAPI with React/TypeScript, integrating Pinecone and FAISS for semantic retrieval. I’ve built scalable RAG pipelines with LlamaIndex and LangChain, applied prompt engineering for behavior and response quality, and developed GCP-based AI accelerators with full CI/CD automation—plus led a small team of engineers on an applied healthcare LLM product.
I’m passionate about building AI accelerators, MVPs, and innovation-led solutions that turn models into dependable products. I enjoy owning cloud-native microservices, data pipelines, and automation so teams can iterate faster and operate confidently.
