Hi, I'm Kaushik.
I'm studying AI engineering at Carnegie Mellon, with graduation expected in December 2027. I enjoy building software and learning how to make AI useful in practice.

About
Before CMU, I spent two years at SAP Labs India as a Developer Associate. I worked with my team on search systems, AI assistants for SAP HANA, and developer tools. I share some of that work here, along with projects and things I'm learning.

Developer Associate
•Built and scaled a production RAG pipeline over 2M+ indexed vectors, serving 400+ users at under 2s p95 latency; fine-tuned DeBERTa-base for German PII extraction at 94% recall
•Co-developed 3 agentic AI systems for SAP HANA operations, orchestrated with LangGraph over MCP tool servers: closed-loop detect-analyze-remediate diagnostics agents plus a multi-agent security pipeline classifying findings against OWASP and CVSS before generating refactored code
•Presented at SAP's developer conference two years running: selected from 1,000+ submissions in 2025 for privacy-preserving chatbot work, and returned in 2026 to demonstrate the three agentic systems
•Selected as 1 of 24 globally for SAP's nine-month Early Talent Board leadership cohort; led a 3-person team across Germany, India, and the Netherlands, then presented to 17+ senior leaders including an Executive Board member
•Refactored the credential-fetch client running on 9,000+ Linux servers from Python to Go using only standard library packages, removing runtime dependency vulnerabilities from the OS patching pipeline
•Executed a zero-downtime multi-cloud consolidation across Google Cloud, Azure, and OpenStack, migrating stateful workloads with log-diff validation before decommissioning 350+ servers for $88K in one-time savings

Jan 2024 - Jul 2024
Software Engineering Intern
•Diagnosed a ChromaDB performance regression in a production chatbot's retrieval layer, working with upstream maintainers to establish the root cause; fixed index cleanup and write-logging bottlenecks behind query latency spikes during heavy content updates
•Engineered a multi-cloud dashboard aggregating live Google Cloud, Azure, and OpenStack data on a FastAPI and React stack with mutual TLS authentication; cut the backend collection job from 76 to 13 minutes using multiprocessing pools and caching

Projects
Some projects I've worked on, from reinforcement learning environments to AI applications.
Long-Horizon RL Benchmark for Adaptive Clinical Trial Recruitment
Designed a 180-step agentic reinforcement learning environment on the OpenEnv spec from Meta and Hugging Face, with an 8-action tool interface, 3 difficulty tiers, and a multi-component reward across enrollment, budget, and retention. Trained a Qwen3-1.7B agent in TRL using SFT warmup then GRPO on LoRA adapters, diagnosing policy collapse across 5+ failed runs; introduced 10 anti-collapse interventions, raising tool calls per rollout from 3.5 to 11 and enrollments from 0 to 3–4.

Real-time Multimedia File Indexer – Smart India Hackathon
Won 1st Place at the Smart India Hackathon National Grand Finale, a competition run by India's Ministry of Education, and supported handoff of the codebase into a Madhya Pradesh Police implementation. Owned the multi-format ingestion pipeline for an offline application, routing 25+ file types through format-specific extractors, including OCR for images embedded in documents and speech-to-text for Hindi and English.

SentinelPII – Multilingual PII/PHI Redaction Engine
Developed a low-latency multilingual PII/PHI redaction system for healthcare logs using a hybrid NER framework (DeBERTa + QLoRA) augmented with rule-based and probabilistic recognizers (spaCy, Presidio). Addressed class imbalance and domain-specific entity variation; achieved 91% F1 on large-scale validation with <200ms inference latency. Deployed as a real-time service and live-demoed at the GE Precision Care Hackathon (Top 12 global finalist).
Antigravity AutoAccept (VS Code Extension)
Developed a TypeScript VS Code extension automating AI agent file edits and terminal commands with zero configuration, reaching 9,220+ downloads on the Open VSX registry. Reverse-engineered an IDE approval flow with no canonical accept command into a 5-strategy engine spanning VS Code Extension API injection, event-driven polling, and a Chrome DevTools Protocol WebSocket fallback traversing the shadow DOM.
