AI Engineer

Hi, I'm
Sai Sathwik Banala.

AI Engineer focused on building production-ready AI systems across RAG, agentic workflows, memory infrastructure, evaluations, and LLM-powered applications. I enjoy combining AI with backend engineering to build reliable retrieval pipelines, orchestration systems, observability, and scalable APIs, with a strong interest in improving latency, retrieval quality, and overall system reliability.

MemInfra

Built a reusable AI memory infrastructure layer that enables LLM applications to extract, store, update, and retrieve long-term user and conversation knowledge. The system supports semantic and episodic memories, deterministic deduplication and supersession, hybrid lexical + vector retrieval, importance/recency-aware ranking, conversation summaries, and per-user memory isolation. Designed the memory lifecycle from LLM-based extraction through policy-driven validation and persistence, with FAISS-based semantic search and evaluation tooling to measure retrieval quality across memory benchmarks.

Agentic Intelligence Platform

Built an enterprise agentic AI platform that combines LLM reasoning with deterministic validation for reliable workflow automation. Implemented tool orchestration, DAG execution, evidence-grounded reasoning, RAG, evals, observability, provenance, execution budgets, and governed actions with human approval.

perps-trading

Built a perpetual futures exchange backend with a deterministic matching engine supporting limit/market orders, leveraged long/short positions, margin management, fills, liquidation-price calculation, and real-time order-book updates. Designed an event-driven architecture using Redis Streams, REST APIs, WebSockets, and Binance market-price feeds.
