Open to Senior AI Architect & GenAI Solution Architecture roles · Remote-first · International
Abhishek Kumar.
Solution Architect
Ten years turning ambiguous business and regulatory requirements into governed, production-ready AI.
I own solution architecture for enterprise compliance and document-intelligence systems — defining
classification taxonomies, retrieval architectures, and LLM integration patterns, and naming the trade-offs
that make them scale, survive an audit, and ship.
Bangalore-based. Internet-based. Currently mid-thought.

What I do
Four outcomes, not a wall of skills.
I think people hire architects for outcomes, not for buzzword bingo. So here’s the work, grouped
by what it actually decides.
01 / architecture
GenAI Solution Architecture
Translating ambiguous business and regulatory requirements into reference architectures. Technology selection, integration patterns, schema and API design, scalability, and production-readiness.
Designing and formally evaluating retrieval strategies — RAG, PageIndex, hybrid, reranking — with evaluation harnesses that make the approach-selection call defensible, not vibes-based.
RAGPageIndexHybrid retrievalEval harnessesRAGAS
03 / governance
Governance & Compliance by Design
Audit-ready systems with classification taxonomies, PII redaction, model risk assessment, and explainability — aligned to GDPR, EU AI Act, and enterprise security KPIs.
GDPREU AI ActPII redactionAudit-readinessExplainability
04 / multi-cloud
Multi-cloud & MLOps Architecture
Reference implementations that transfer cleanly across AWS Bedrock, Azure AI, and GCP. Model lifecycle, drift detection, CI/CD, capacity planning, monitoring.

— how I think
Architecture is the art of naming what you gave up.
Four principles I bring to every system.
01
Trade-offs over trends.
Every choice sacrifices something. I name what I gave up and why — that’s the line between picking a tool and architecting a system.
02
Governed by default.
Compliance, auditability, and explainability are designed in from day one — not bolted on the week before the audit.
03
Evaluation before production.
Formal quality gates and evaluation harnesses gate every prompt and retrieval change. Nothing ships on “looks good.”
04
Portable by design.
Patterns that transfer cleanly across Bedrock, Azure, and GCP — so a cloud choice is never a one-way door.
Patterns proven across telecom, healthcare, pharmaceuticals, and retail.

Selected work
Six things I’ve shipped, roughly in order of recency.
Pulled from the resume. Each one has a working artifact behind it — happy to walk through eval results,
retrieval configs, or the bits that almost shipped sideways.
2026 now
Compliance RAG Pipeline
Production
“Claude reads 300+ pages of regulatory text and cites its sources.”
End-to-end production RAG for a Tier-1 enterprise engagement: Claude Sonnet on Bedrock, Qdrant for hybrid retrieval, FastAPI orchestration, RAGAS gates — the decision framework other compliance workflows now follow.

Enterprise Asset Classification at Scale
Production
“Hundreds of asset classes, structured outputs, a multi-week process killed.”
LLM classifier on Claude/Bedrock for a regulated enterprise client: structured output validation, confidence scoring, rationale generation, and a human-in-the-loop review queue for audit defensibility. Replaced a multi-week manual categorization with near-real-time.

JobPilot
In flight
“A job-hunt copilot that actually reads the listings.”
Personal project, v0 global hackathon submission. Next.js + Neon Postgres + Apify scrapers on Vercel, with retrieval over my own work history and a small evaluator for fit. Currently being dogfooded on my own search.

Claude Interview Platform
🏆 Hackathon Winner
“$10K and a year of validation.”
Winner of the AWS Global GenAI Hackathon. Claude on Bedrock with dynamic, context-aware question generation and RAG-grounded transcript evaluation against role competencies. Prompt orchestration, structured-output scoring, quality validation across both generated and evaluated content.

PharmaGraph
Production
“A knowledge graph that explains itself to a pharmacist.”
Neo4j knowledge graph with LLM-based entity linking and a RAG retrieval interface for complex pharmacological queries, built for a large US healthcare deployment. Every response grounded to a source document with inline citation and auditor-visible provenance. Azure OpenAI + Azure AI Search.

Side quests
Six was an arbitrary number — here’s the rest of the rotation.
More builds, less depth. Same person.
#07Production
Document intelligence layer
The ingestion layer downstream compliance and retrieval workflows stand on.
LLM-light document-to-structured-content service. Powers downstream compliance, classification, and retrieval workflows for a Tier-1 enterprise. The unglamorous infrastructure that everything else stands on.
FastAPIPythonOCRStructured extractionVector store
#08Production
Multimodal document processing pipeline
Compliance review across docs, slides, spreadsheets, and images.
Extended a text-only compliance pipeline to handle PPTX, XLSX, embedded images, and OLE objects using Claude Vision. The pipeline now reads anything an auditor would actually open.

#09R&D
LinkedIn Connection Intelligence
Multi-agent RAG over personal LinkedIn graph data.
Ingests a LinkedIn connection graph, enriches it, and surfaces second-order paths and warm introductions. Pitched to the Vercel AI Accelerator. The “LinkedIn GPT for individuals” idea.

#10Built
Voice Reservation Agent
Conversational restaurant booking over the phone.
Takes restaurant reservation calls end-to-end — handles availability, party size, dietary notes, and confirmation, then writes to the booking system. The first time hearing it pick up was uncanny.

#11Built
ICP Qualifier Agent
Lead qualification agent on a partner agent platform.
Qualifies inbound leads against an ideal customer profile — pulls firmographic and intent signals, scores, routes. Built on the Nasiko A2A platform as part of their agent ecosystem.

OpenTravel
Travel chatbot grounded in YouTube creator transcripts.
Niche RAG that treats travel YouTube creators as the knowledge base. Extracts transcripts, builds a hybrid retriever, answers travel questions with cited timestamps. The internet’s actual travel guide, finally queryable.

HydroLedger
Car wash management system, no-code first.
End-to-end ops for a small car wash — bookings, customer ledger, daily reports. Built to test how far Lovable + Supabase can take you before you reach for code. Further than expected.

Community & speaking
7,000 practitioners, 40+ events, one chai habit.
I lead the Bangalore chapter of The AI Collective — the largest practitioner community in
India for production AI engineers. Since March 2025, we’ve shipped 40+ events,
hosted speakers from across the ecosystem, and built the kind of room where people argue about eval harnesses
and then go get dinner.

Working on something interesting? Send a note.
I read everything. Best for: AI / GenAI Solution Architect conversations at AI-native companies,
production-RAG and governance consulting, community collabs, or just a good thread about retrieval
trade-offs. Slow for: cold sales pitches.
