ArjunKulkarni
Backend + ML Systems Engineer building scalable AI pipelines.
I build reliable data + retrieval systems powering production ML—optimized for latency, cost, and scale.
•RAG pipelines + vector search (Pinecone, FAISS, QDrant) + intelligent caching
•Distributed services: APIs, message queues, real-time systems + observability
•Performance + cost optimization at scale (Redis, Postgres, cloud infra)
