ABOUT RICHA SEHGAL

With over a decade of experience in software engineering and technical leadership, I specialize in building scalable, high-performance applications that solve complex business challenges. At Deloitte, I’ve led cross-functional teams to architect and deliver Python-based platforms for automation, analytics, and enterprise-wide data integration — including ingesting and harmonizing data from third-party APIs and external systems.As a Technical Lead, I’ve managed end-to-end project delivery, provided architectural direction, and played a key role in mentoring junior developers, conducting code reviews, and fostering a culture of technical excellence, collaboration, and continuous learning.I bring strong hands-on expertise in Python, RESTful APIs, NLP, and scalable data pipelines, paired with experience implementing Agile methodologies across globally distributed teams.In recent years, I’ve contributed to Generative AI product development, with hands-on experience integrating LLMs (Large Language Models), building RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) pipelines, and delivering context-aware AI features for enterprise applications. While my focus is technical, I’ve worked closely with product managers to align engineering with strategic goals, define feature feasibility, and support product delivery timelines.
