Vishal Gautam

I’m a senior software engineer with 8+ years building high-stakes, data-intensive production systems, including direct fintech experience delivering AI-powered RAG systems, back-office automation platforms, and financial data navigators.

I operate with full ownership—from ambiguous brief through architecture, implementation, and post-launch iteration—making deliberate trade-offs grounded in correctness, performance, and user impact. In environments where data fidelity, low latency, and operational correctness are non-negotiable, I design for auditability, reliability, and production readiness.

Most recently at Ormae LLP (EXP, fintech), I architected an end-to-end AI retrieval and automation system for financial operations: the retrieval pipeline, LLM integration layer, and a production React front-end with strict attention to data accuracy and auditability requirements. I also built optimization and decision-support interfaces—like a virtualised rendering layer over million-row datasets and an AI scheduling platform with a 98.7% autonomous resolution rate—bringing complex solver outputs to users through interactive UI.

Across my work, I’ve consistently improved outcomes with measurable engineering: introducing observability via Sentry and Web Vitals to reduce production incidents by 30%, driving 35% improvement in load time and interaction latency, and mentoring 4 engineers to reduce build and release cycles by 40% through modular architecture and streamlined CI/CD. I’m excited by teams that value correctness, data-driven reliability, and strong cross-functional collaboration across quant, product, and infrastructure.
