About Mona Teja Kurakula
Computer Science graduate from USC with 3+ years of experience building AI-powered full-stack applications, RESTful APIs, and autonomous agentic systems.Currently a Research Assistant at USC Viterbi School of Engineering, where I architect scalable autonomous assistants using Agentic RAG, Llama-3, and OpenAI APIs, enabling autonomous reasoning, iterative self-correction, and personalized study plan generation from unstructured data.I specialize at the intersection of full-stack engineering and applied AI, from shipping production-ready MERN stack platforms to designing multi-agent systems with chain-of-thought reasoning. Before USC, I spent 3 years at Shell delivering enterprise-grade tools, interactive Power BI dashboards, Power App workflow solutions, and SharePoint platforms serving users, recognized with both the VP Recognition Award and the Operational Excellence Award.Earlier, as an ML Intern at Matchday.ai, I engineered a player tracking system with 95.6% accuracy for live broadcast analytics, reaching 1.5M peak viewers in partnership with Star Sports.A few highlights: 🤖 Currently specializing in Agentic RAG, fine-tuning, and multi-agent systems Ranked 1st in a class of 481 at USC → appointed grader for Web Technologies Stack: Python · React · Node.js · Kotlin · PyTorch · AWS · MongoDBI bring together technical depth, cross-functional collaboration, and a drive to ship things that matter.
