Hi Justin,
My name is Jothi Mani Thondiraj, and I am a recent M.S. graduate from the University of Colorado Boulder. I am actively seeking opportunities in AI/ML, software engineering where I can apply my expertise in machine learning, deep learning, Generative AI, model optimization, and data analysis. I am interested in the AI Agent Engineer role at strongdm, and I wanted to reach out to you regarding that. Here is my background:
During my graduate studies, I worked as a Graduate Research Assistant at CU Boulder, where I developed a deep learning-based uncertainty quantification model for NASA's high-dimensional modeling tasks. This involved optimizing predictive models using PyTorch, implementing custom neural network architectures, and streamlining data pipelines to improve computational efficiency. These efforts led to a 40% reduction in data processing time and contributed to $150,000 in annual cost savings for NASA's predictive modeling workflows. I regularly presented findings to stakeholders, enhancing the interpretability and impact of AI-driven decision-making.
Currently, I am working as an AI Engineer at Nureal.ai, where I am designing a mobile application for indoor navigation using Augmented Reality (AR). I also mainly contribute to AI features such as voice recognition, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), and agent development. I developed a RAG chatbot for answering library user queries based on the data from the PostgreSQL database and implemented the backend using FastAPI for prototyping. I am developing an agent framework in LangGraph for building tools for reserving books, answering questions, and monitoring the workflow in Langfuse. Initially, I was using n8n for orchestrating the agent tools, but then I moved to LangGraph as it is more suitable for production.
Moreover, I have attended Vizuara AI Agents Bootcamp, where I learned A-Z about the AI agent frameworks from the basics. Particularly, I learned about including the ReAct framework, and tools such as smolagents, langgraph, crewAI, Langsmith, LlamaIndex, Langfuse, and ArizeAI. I built a couple of projects that include creating a travel itinerary plan in Langflow, sending reply emails to the sender if the email received is not spam, and so on.
In addition to my professional and academic background, I am committed to continuous learning and growth. Through platforms like SuperDataScience, I stay current with the latest in ML and AI. Some of my recent projects include:
- Fine-tuning BERT for detecting AI-generated text.
- Developing and deploying a Gradio-based LLM chatbot on Hugging Face to generate personalized recipes and images using Falcon-7B, GPT-4, DALL·E, and Stable Diffusion.
- Building scalable end-to-end ML pipelines for YouTube sentiment analysis, integrating Apache Airflow for ETL process, Hugging Face models, and Streamlit for real-time analytics.
- Credit card fraud detection using machine learning
I hold two certifications: Microsoft Azure Data Scientist Associate certification, Google Data Analytics Professional Certificate.
I am passionate about using AI, data science, and software engineering to solve real-world, high-impact challenges, and I believe strongdm would be an excellent place to contribute and continue growing professionally. If possible, I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to speak with you for 15–20 minutes about the job opportunity.
Thank you for your time and consideration.

I'm looking forward to talking with you.
Best regards,
