ABOUT HARDIK S.

Principal Software Architect & Applied AI Lead | Agentic Workflows | Petabyte-Scale SystemsI architect the autonomous systems defining the Software 2.0 era. With 15+ years of experience, I specialize in the convergence of high-throughput distributed systems and production-grade Agentic AI. My focus is transitioning enterprise AI from passive \"chatbots\" to Autonomous Agents that execute multi-step, high-stakes workflows in highly regulated environments.Strategic Impact & Scale:Agentic AI & Orchestration: Currently leading the technical strategy for \"Intuit Assist,\" a multi-agent ecosystem delivering 2M+ daily financial insights. I engineered the coordination layer for autonomous agents using LangGraph, LangChain, and Model Context Protocol (MCP) to automate accounting and compliance.Data at Hyper-Scale: At Splunk, architected a Data Stream Processor (DSP) handling 10 Petabytes of data per day using Apache Pulsar, Flink, and Kafka.Cloud-Native Architecture: Successfully migrated high-volume APIs from AWS Lambda to Amazon ECS, resolving cold-start latency and slashing infrastructure costs by 40%.Search & Engagement: At Realtor.com, pioneered a Natural Language Search engine (Java/GraphQL) that drove a 4.6x increase in user engagement.Modern Technical Stack:Applied AI: Agentic Workflows (LangGraph), RAG, Multi-Model Orchestration, LLM Eval Pipelines, Vector Search (Pinecone), Prompt Engineering.Infrastructure & DevOps: Kubernetes (EKS), Terraform (IaC), ArgoCD, Docker, and Buildkite.Backend & Data: Python, Java, Go, Node.js, PostgreSQL, Redis, and DynamoDB.Core Engineering: Event-Driven Microservices, gRPC, Domain-Driven Design and High-Availability Systems.I am driven by the challenge of building governed, scalable AI platforms that solve massive real-world problems. Whether it\'s reducing bookkeeping time for millions or scaling data-in-motion to the petabyte level, I build for resilience, safety, and impact.Keywords: GenAI, Agentic AI, Distributed Systems, Cloud Architecture, LLMOps, Fintech, Scalability.
