About Karthik Sivakoti

With 14+ years in the digital transformation and tolling industry, I lead the design and delivery of AI-powered, cloud-native systems that modernize infrastructure, enhance customer experience, and reduce operational inefficiencies. I hold a Master’s in Artificial Intelligence from UT Austin, with deep technical expertise in Machine Learning, Deep Learning, Computer Vision, NLP, and Cloud Engineering (Azure, GCP).Across roles at Emovis, North Highland, KPMG, PTC, and Kapsch, I’ve delivered high-impact solutions for state agencies like OTA, PANYNJ, PTC, NCTA, SANDAG, OCTA, and ACTC—transforming everything from back-office systems to roadside operations and customer engagement platforms. Highlights include:• : Architected real-time Google Cloud-based platform processing 500K+ images daily with 99.5% OCR accuracy, reducing manual verification by 85%• : Built ML platform analyzing 1M+ incidents, identifying high-risk zones with 92% accuracy, contributing to a 30% accident reduction• : Designed 30+ AI agents to automate software test case generation and execution, improving SDLC efficiency by 90%• : Scaled GCP-based system processing 2M+ daily transactions, recovering $1.5M+ in annual toll revenue leakage• : Developed multi-agent, multi-artifact debiasing platform for tolling agencies to process 100K+ queries/month with 70% efficiency gainsI’ve also created enterprise AI tools beyond tolling:• : A neural image compression framework using GANs + Binary Spherical Quantization (BSQ), achieving up to 100× compression with high perceptual quality• : Deep learning for bridge defect detection and proactive infrastructure maintenance• : Attention-based debiasing and contrastive learningCertified in Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud Solutions and Architecture design, I fuse deep technical expertise with stakeholder-facing leadership. I’m passionate about building AI systems that solve real-world problems at enterprise scale—and shaping the next decade of smart, safe, and sustainable tech.Let’s connect and talk about transforming the future of infrastructure through AI and cloud.
