Profile: https://flows.cv/prathana

I’m an AI/LLM Engineer with a Master’s in Data Science from San Jose State University, specializing in building production-grade AI systems for enterprise environments.

Currently, I work as an AI/ML Engineer at Athena Technology Solutions, consulting at Lumentum, where I lead the design and deployment of Large Language Model (LLM)–powered applications. My work focuses on building scalable, secure, and high-impact AI systems that integrate structured and unstructured enterprise data.

My expertise includes:

• Designing and deploying LLM-powered enterprise assistants using OpenAI APIs
• Building Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines with embeddings, vector search, and semantic retrieval
• Developing NL-to-SQL systems for natural language database querying (Oracle, PostgreSQL, Athena)
• Architecting agentic workflows with tool execution and contextual summarization
• Implementing secure SSO (OAuth/SAML) and role-based access control (RBAC) for AI applications
• Optimizing LLM performance through prompt engineering, chunking strategies, and context window management
• Building CI/CD pipelines for AI workloads using Jenkins, Bitbucket, and Linux environments

In addition to hands-on development, I lead AI initiatives across projects — defining architecture, resolving technical blockers, and ensuring end-to-end delivery from prototype to production.

My broader technical background includes Python, SQL, AWS, Spark, Transformers, PyTorch, and enterprise data systems. I have also published research on graph-based deep learning for fake review detection in Applied Sciences (2025).

I’m passionate about building reliable, explainable, and scalable AI systems that deliver measurable business value — not just experiments, but production-ready solutions.

Always open to connecting with professionals working on LLM systems, applied AI, and enterprise AI transformation.
