About Basantkumar Tiwari

I am a Lead AI Engineer with 13+ years of experience building scalable AI/ML solutions, with a strong focus on Generative AI and Agentic AI systems. Currently working on Microsoft projects, I design and deliver enterprise-grade AI platforms, including multi-agent systems, RAG-based knowledge solutions, and LLM-powered applications. My work focuses on turning complex AI capabilities into production-ready systems that are reliable, scalable, and aligned with real business needs. I specialize in building end-to-end AI architectures—from problem definition and model design to deployment, evaluation, and optimization. I have hands-on experience with multi-agent orchestration, hybrid retrieval (vector + keyword + semantic search), and LLM evaluation frameworks to ensure grounded and high-quality responses. Key areas of expertise: • Generative AI & Agentic AI (multi-agent systems, reasoning workflows) • RAG architectures, embeddings, and semantic search • Azure AI ecosystem (Azure OpenAI, AI Search, Foundry, Container Apps) • MLOps / GenAIOps, CI/CD, Infrastructure as Code (Bicep) • Building scalable, cloud-native AI platforms I have led multiple enterprise AI initiatives, improving system relevance, latency, and reliability, while mentoring teams and driving adoption of modern AI practices. I’m particularly interested in building high-impact AI products, collaborating with startups, and solving real-world problems using next-generation AI technologies.
