Side project

Building with friends.

Ongoing

A product intelligence platform I build with friends. It pulls scattered customer feedback out of surveys, CRM, and support tools, clusters it into the underlying user needs, and applies statistical modeling to tie each need back to churn risk, lost revenue, and conversion opportunity. Teams get ranked, dollar-weighted product bets instead of a pile of feature requests. My work is on the analysis side: turning heterogeneous data into insights the model can stand behind.

Why I might be right for your team.

August 2026

With over 17 years of progressive software engineering leadership, credentials as a Booz Allen Certified AI Expert and AWS Certified AI Practitioner, and a consistent record architecting mission-critical platforms, I specialize in translating complex architectural challenges into high-performance, enterprise-grade solutions.

As your organization expands its technology and AI initiatives, I offer deep expertise bridging autonomous agentic AI systems, scalable cloud infrastructure, and rigorous enterprise data governance. Throughout my tenure as Lead Software Engineer at Booz Allen Hamilton supporting federal health agencies, I have architected and deployed enterprise-scale generative AI platforms. Notably, I spearheaded an autonomous multi-agent compliance platform using AWS Bedrock, LangGraph, LangChain, and LlamaIndex, orchestrating collaborative agents with dynamic tool-calling and human-in-the-loop validation. It compressed review cycles by 60% while automating PHI and PII redaction to guarantee zero policy leakage. In parallel, I engineered enterprise agentic RAG systems on AWS Bedrock and OpenSearch with dynamic query routing, automated clinical trial document classification pipelines, and conversational research synthesis tools that removed long-standing analytical bottlenecks.

Beyond machine learning orchestration, my foundation rests on architecting resilient, high-throughput distributed systems. I led delivery of a secure controlled access data system hosting over 2 TB of clinical trial assets for the global scientific community, with federated authentication via NIH and RAS logins alongside proactive AppDynamics workflow telemetry. Demonstrating adaptability across cloud and sovereign environments, I also spearheaded migration of our biometrics database and secure image repository to on-premises enterprise servers to satisfy strict government data sovereignty policy, without downtime. That background further spans migrating 6M+ audit records on Limfinity Biobank, engineering Java Spring Boot microservices consuming Kafka streams on GCP Bigtable, and standardizing infrastructure as code across AWS CDK, Pulumi, and Terraform.

Whether architecting award-winning platforms such as the NIH Director's Award-winning AdminHub, or mentoring cross-functional engineering teams, I prioritize technical excellence, zero-trust security guardrails, and measurable business outcomes. I would welcome the chance to discuss how this background and technical vision align with your team's objectives.

Sincerely,Pradip Shrestha
