Applied Scientist at Microsoft, 4 YoE. I ship LLM agents end-to-end — synthetic data → SFT/RLHF post-training → eval infra. What I've owned:
- Computer Use Agent — synthetic data, SFT + RLHF, AI-safety alignment; task pass rate 45% → 78% across two model iterations
- Data Analyst Agent — synthetic data + post-training for tool use, multi-step file analysis, grounded reasoning
- Outlook Agent — reward modeling + RLHF post-training; function calling, email triage, multi-turn actions
- LLM evaluation platform serving 500+ internal Microsoft teams (benchmarking, personalization, grounding evals)
- AgenticLeo agent evaluation framework — improved alignment with human judgment by 25%

Looking for Founding AI Engineer / Applied AI Engineer roles at Seed–Series A AI startups. Especially interested in: coding agents, agent reliability + eval infra, agentic dev tools, vertical agents (legal / health / ops).
Prior: Data Science Intern @ CRED (session modeling; personalization AUC 0.84 → 0.91), Research Intern @ Microsoft Research (RAG over NCERT textbooks + LoRA fine-tuning). NSUT ECE 2023.
Signals: Kaggle x3 Expert (313 comp / 601 datasets / 1210 notebooks), 4th of 3300+ in Amazon ML Challenge 2023, 6th of 3300+ in Amazon ML Challenge 2021, Leetcode 2062 (top 1.92%).

Backend and infrastructure engineer focused on systems programming in Go. Currently working with YC-backed startup. I build low-level infrastructure from scratch and benchmark it honestly.
Recent projects:
vase — a pub/sub broker in Go using a lock-free ring buffer. 62x faster than Redis at 100 subscribers (111k vs 1.8k msg/s). Zero message loss across 5 million messages at 1000 subscribers.
iouring-wal — a write-ahead log built on io_uring from raw syscalls in Go, no external libraries or CGo. 5.5x faster than naive fsync at 64 concurrent writers. Crash recovery tested with SIGKILL.
lsm-tree-go — an LSM tree storage engine (the structure inside RocksDB and Cassandra). Profiled from 250k to ~2M writes/sec with pprof. 5x faster than BoltDB on random writes. Bloom filters, leveled compaction, crash recovery, all tested under -race.
I write about the engineering behind each at https://medium.com/@ashishrathour1102. Looking for backend/infra/systems roles.
