Building AI systems that reason, act, and operate in production.

Nikhil Lamba

I work on agentic AI, LLM systems, multi-agent platforms, and deep-learning systems — from research and experimentation to production. I also build useful web apps over weekends, ship them publicly on X, and share what I learn as an active open-source contributor in X.com's indie-hacking communities.

Experience

Where I've built and shipped.

  • AI Lead Indie Dev & Open Source May 2025 — Present

    Built a collaborative platform for marketing teams to engage and decide which version of storyboard is better to go for AI video production.

    • Fine-tuned and benchmarked Qwen 3 LLM via SFT and RL (DPO, PPO).
    • Architected an end-to-end agentic harness as per defined RBACs.
    • Architected and scaled a collaborative environment based on unique usernames.
    • Added proper RBAC functionalities for team members.
    • Interactive versioning of text-to-video ideas with team-wide visibility.
  • Founding AI Engineer Adopt AI Mar 2025 — May 2025 Bengaluru, Karnataka, India · Agentic Platform & Enterprise Workflow Automation

    Building a production multi-agent platform from the ground up for 9+ global enterprise clients — orchestration, tool calling, evaluation, and execution infrastructure. Led a team of 8 engineers.

    • Multi-agent orchestration: architected a custom Workflow Descriptive Language (WDL) and an "Uber Agents" routing harness scaling to 60+ autonomous agents and 1,000+ successful actions/month.
    • LLM-as-a-Judge evals: benchmarked routing accuracy, tool-calling precision, and safety boundaries — cutting regressions by more than 95%.
    • Remote code execution: shipped RCE as a core architecture shift, unlocking agent-to-agent autonomous behavior.
    • Enterprise integrations: zero-human-in-the-loop agents across QuickBooks, Gmail, Google Drive, Plaid, and US Bank APIs (98% automation) with human-in-the-loop guards for sensitive actions; recovered $1.8M+ in annual billing leakage.
    • Self-healing SOQL: built an NL-to-SOQL compiler with a 3-loop fallback that corrects syntax and logic errors at runtime.
    • DevEx: a CLI toolchain that cut deployment latency 85% and accelerated delivery 4x.
  • Tech Lead HCLTech Oct 2023 — Feb 2025 Chennai, India · Generative AI & Multimodal Computer Vision
    • Generative document restoration: a CycleGAN pipeline on 15,000+ distorted words hitting 82% accuracy — the proof-of-concept secured a multi-year US enterprise contract.
    • Interactive object extraction: cascaded Grounding DINO + Segment Anything Model (SAM) into a zero-shot system, cutting AWS EC2 memory use by 45% and eliminating memory leaks.
    • Spatial 3D reconstruction: deployed COLMAP and InstantNGP for indoor reconstruction from monocular feeds with high-precision distance estimation.
  • AI & ML Intern Proxgy Apr 2022 — Jun 2022 Gurugram, India
    • Built an automated vehicle-damage estimation framework using instance segmentation, optimizing edge inference for real-time insurance repair-cost estimation.

Building in public

Shipped in public, with the lessons attached.

I regularly build small AI products and engineering experiments outside of work, and share the implementation and the lessons publicly. Most weekends, I ship a small, useful AI web app and publish it on X, with threads and teardowns on X and LinkedIn.

About

An engineer at the boundary of research and production.

I'm an AI engineer focused on building intelligent systems that operate reliably in the real world. My work spans agentic AI, LLM systems, computer vision, and deep learning — across production multi-agent platforms, enterprise automation, multimodal systems, and published research.

I enjoy working at the boundary between research and engineering: taking ideas that work in a notebook and turning them into systems people can actually use. Outside work, I build small AI products and engineering experiments, ship them publicly on X, and contribute to X.com's indie-hacking and open-source communities.
