πŸ‘‹ Hi there, I'm Shardul Kulkarni!

Welcome to my GitHub profile! I'm CTO at MAindTec GmbH, a B2B AI SaaS startup in Germany, where I lead end-to-end delivery of GenAI and Agentic AI programmes for enterprise clients in manufacturing and automotive. I build production agentic systems β€” multi-agent LangGraph orchestration, hybrid RAG (pgvector, BM25 + dense + Cohere reranking), MCP servers, LangSmith observability β€” and lead a team of 9 engineers from discovery through deployment. My background combines Generative AI, Computer Vision, and Deep Learning research with hands-on software engineering.

// AI expertise areas
const expertise = {
  domains: ["Agentic AI", "Generative AI / RAG", "LLMOps", "Computer Vision"],
  languages: ["Python", "TypeScript", "JavaScript", "SQL"],
  frameworks: ["LangGraph", "LangChain", "FastAPI", "PyTorch", "Next.js"],
  goals: "Shipping AI systems that solve real-world enterprise problems"
};
