I'm Karthik Nadar, a passionate Backend, AI, and Cloud Engineer. I thrive at the intersection of scalable infrastructure and cutting-edge machine learning, and Iβm always exploring ways to bridge traditional systems with intelligent, agentic solutions.
I started my journey in full-stack and backend development β building resilient architectures using Express.js, FastAPI, and Python, and crafting frontend interfaces with React and Next.js. Over time, I developed a strong foundation in DevOps and Cloud Infrastructure, which helped me design systems that scale and stay reliable in production.
Now, my focus is on building intelligent systems β combining the best of AI, automation, and backend architecture.
My cloud and infrastructure toolkit includes:
Category | Technologies |
---|---|
Compute | EC2, EKS |
Networking | VPC, Route53 |
Storage | S3 |
CI/CD | Jenkins, GitHub Actions |
Automation | Docker, Kubernetes, Ansible, Chef, Terraform, Puppet |
I enjoy building robust CI/CD pipelines, automating workflows, and using orchestration tools to streamline development and deployment.
- Deep Learning: Built and fine-tuned CNN models for computer vision tasks
- Generative AI: Worked with GANs, VAEs, energy-based models, and diffusion models
- Text-to-Image: Fine-tuned diffusion models using LoRA, DreamBooth, and custom pipelines for creative generation
I'm deeply involved in building AI agents and agentic systems β crafting workflows that go beyond simple prompt-response setups. Iβve worked extensively with:
- LangGraph, LangChain, LangSmith
- Vercel AI SDK for full-stack agent deployment
- Vector databases like Pinecone for fast and accurate RAG pipelines
- Local LLM orchestration using Ollama
- Designing and optimizing chunking strategies and retrieval flows
This is where I love to geek out β building smart, modular systems that reason, plan, and act. I see agents as the next layer of app intelligence, and Iβm all-in on exploring that space.
