About Barun Saha
I\'m Dr. Barun Kumar Saha, a hands-on researcher and problem-solver with ~17 years of experience turning cutting-edge concepts into deployable, impactful solutions. My passion lies at the intersection of AI, Large Language Models (LLMs), and designing intelligent networks and systems.My expertise extends to building practical tools, such as DrAgent (an agentic workflow for fault analysis, showcasing my depth in agentic AI systems), RAG2Rich (an LLM RAG performance evaluator), and CodePrompt (for GenAI impact measurement). I deploy these GenAI solutions on different platforms, such as Google Cloud Run and Azure Container Apps. In personal life, I\'m the creator of SlideDeck AI, an award-winning solution that demonstrates my ability to innovate and deliver. I\'m also the creator of KodeAgent, the minimal agent engine built from scratch.Some of the AI prototypes & solutions that I built as part of my official R&D works include, but are not limited to- DrAgent: to diagnose faults in power grids- IBN: to manage a network using natural language- NLINQ: to query a network management database using natural language- RfpAnno: to extract requirements from RFPs for bid engineeringWith a PhD (in Computer Science) from IIT Kharagpur, over two dozen peer-reviewed publications (including Transactions), two granted patents, and several patent applications, I bring a robust academic foundation to my applied work. My blog on network simulation has reached over views from 120+ countries, reflecting my commitment to sharing knowledge and fostering community. I also regularly share practical insights on AI on Medium.I\'m always eager to explore new challenges in AI, with a focus on translating cutting-edge research into practical, usable, and intelligent systems that truly make a difference. I\'m keen to connect with like-minded innovators, lead and contribute to research, and build the future with AI together.
