About Shikhar Mishra

I’m an Applied AI Engineer with about 3 years of experience building GenAI systems that actually survive production. My background is rooted in NLP and Computer Vision research, but these days I live at the intersection of LLM reasoning, agentic architectures, and the scalable backends that keep them running.I’ve spent the last few years navigating the \"messy\" middle where unstructured data, business constraints, and AI reasoning collide. Whether it\'s multilingual search, multi-agent orchestration, or Hybrid RAG, I’ve learned that making AI \"work\" is only the first 10% of the job. The real challenge is making it reliable, observable, and useful in high-stakes environments.I’m currently leaning into Forward Deployed Engineering. I’m at my best when I’m bridging the gap between deep technical research and real-world implementation taking an abstract capability and embedding it into a customer\'s specific, often chaotic, workflow.I care about engineering rigor and systems thinking. I believe AI should amplify human capability, not just automate tasks. If you’re building something ambitious or solving complex implementation hurdles, I’d love to connect.
