# Mahesh babu kambala > Software Engineer (AI) | LLM & RAG Systems | Production-Scale GenAI | Distributed AI Infrastructure Location: New York, New York, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/maheshbabukambala I’m Mahesh Babu Kambala, a Software Engineer (AI)specializing in building large-scale, production-grade intelligent systems that operate reliably in high-traffic, distributed environments. With 4+ years of experience across AI and cloud-native engineering, I design and deploy LLM-powered platforms, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) architectures, vector search systems, and AI-integrated microservices that deliver measurable business impact. At American Express, I engineered scalable RAG pipelines leveraging LLMs and vector databases to power contextual financial knowledge retrieval at enterprise scale. I optimized inference workflows, reduced latency across AI-driven APIs, and strengthened system resilience within distributed cloud environments handling mission-critical workloads. My work sits at the intersection of: LLM application engineering Embedding pipelines & vector indexing Secure AI model deployment Distributed systems for AI workloads High-availability cloud architectures I focus on turning AI research capabilities into production-ready, observable, scalable systems — integrating model serving, caching, monitoring, and failover strategies into real-world enterprise environments. Core Expertise: Python | LLM Systems | RAG Architecture | LangChain | Vector Databases (FAISS, Pinecone, Weaviate) | AWS | Kubernetes | Docker | FastAPI | ML Infrastructure | Distributed Systems | Generative AI | Cloud MLOps | SQL/NoSQL I thrive in environments where scale, reliability, and innovation intersect — building AI platforms that move beyond prototypes and into mission-critical production systems. šŸ“© Open to collaborating on advanced AI infrastructure, scalable LLM platforms, and next-generation intelligent systems. ## Work Experience ### Software Engineer @ American Express Jan 2023 – Present | Albany, NY ### Software Engineer @ HCL Tech Jan 2020 – Jan 2022 Designed and developed enterprise-grade applications using Java, Spring Boot, and PostgreSQL, improving overall system performance and reducing latency across high-traffic enterprise clients. Developed React.js and TypeScript-based patient management dashboards integrated with FHIR/HL7 APIs, enabling clinicians to securely access and visualize real-time patient data, improving operational efficiency and reducing navigation time by 35%. Implemented modular React components with Context API and Hooks to streamline healthcare workflows, enhance accessibility, and improve page responsiveness by 25%, ensuring seamless user experience across hospital web interfaces. Developed and implemented microservices-based architectures, migrating legacy monolithic systems into modular, scalable services that improved fault tolerance and reduced downtime. Managed cloud deployments on Azure and GCP, leveraging services such as Virtual Machines, Blob Storage, Functions, and Azure SQL Database to optimize infrastructure costs by 18% while increasing system reliability and uptime. Designed and automated CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins, Terraform, and Ansible, reducing software release cycles from weeks to hours and ensuring consistent, repeatable deployments. Containerized applications with Docker and orchestrated workloads using Kubernetes, improving portability, scalability, and minimizing environment-related deployment errors. Integrated and optimized RESTful APIs, enhancing application responsiveness, throughput, and reliability for large-scale distributed systems. Collaborated with business analysts and cross-functional teams to translate complex business requirements into scalable, technical solutions, achieving 100% on-time delivery for all projects. Conducted comprehensive unit and automated testing using JUnit and Selenium, reducing post-release defects and improving overall software quality and stability. ## Education ### Master's Degree in Computational Science University at Albany ### Bachelor's degree in Computer Science and engineering Bharath Institute Of Science And Technology ## Contact & Social - LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/mahesh-babu-kambala --- Source: https://flows.cv/maheshbabukambala JSON Resume: https://flows.cv/maheshbabukambala/resume.json Last updated: 2026-04-05
