02.2025 - Current
- Multi-Agent Log Management System: Built a multi-agent architecture for automated log classification, remediation, and planning using specialized Log, Supervisor, Planner, Research and Critique agents. Implemented semantic, episodic, and procedural memory with pgvector embeddings and LangGraph’s in-memory store, plus dynamic tool selection, web retrieval, adaptive memory, and tool-calling tests with vLLM and Ollama.
- Responsible AI Chatbot: Built a LangGraph backend for multi-turn interactions with dynamic prompt flows, response summarization, compliance-aligned advisory. Developed prompt chains to extract legal compliance metrics from user context.
- A2A Protocol: Designed a system integrating CrewAI, LangGraph, and LlamaIndex via Google’s Agent-to-Agent Protocol, consolidating multi-agent responses into UI.
- Multimodal RAG Backend: Developed embeddings for text, image, audio, and video (CLIP, CLAP, all-MiniLM, Vertex AI). Used ChromaDB and Qdrant for scalable retrieval and test case generation via transcribed embeddings or direct multimodal retrieval.
- MCP Protocol: Implemented MCP architecture with HTTP, SSE, Stdio, and OAuth via FastAPI. Built GenAI orchestration module for Copilot-driven automation (vector DB, BDD, web crawling, test scripts) and modular Java MCP web crawler for client needs.
- Agentic Assurance System: Creating an extensive framework for analyzing agentic systems through code and trace analysis. Constructs plans covering augmentations to apply and metrics to evaluate with testing strategies. Integrated to our advisory system, which profiles agents through SME interactions, passes the resulting profile to the assurance system for evaluation.
