About Utkarsh Bhardwaj

I am an AI Engineer with an Economist’s mindset. I don\'t just ask \"?\", I ask \"?\"​My background in Economics taught me to optimize for scarcity and utility. My experience in Engineering taught me to build for reliability. I sit right at that intersection, building AI systems that solve actual business problems without breaking the bank:I specialize in architecting. At Swaran Soft, I moved beyond standard API wrappers to build fully local RAG systems, cutting operational costs by 60% while improving data privacy. I treat prompt engineering as a rigorous debugging process, not creative writing, ensuring that the systems I deploy are deterministic and production-ready.​ :I believe code is useless if it doesn\'t solve a root cause. Whether I\'m designing a schema for or optimizing inference with, I prioritize. I translate complex technical constraints into clear business clarity, making me effective in roles that require bridging the gap between engineering and product strategy.​ :Python, RAG Systems (LangGraph/LangChain), Local LLMs (Ollama, Llama 3), Docker, FastAPI, Vector Databases (Pinecone/pgvector), and Econometrics.​I am looking for or roles where I can build scalable, reliable systems that survive the real world.​Let’s solve real problems.
