👋 Hi, I’m Akshay Bankapure

I’m a Full-Stack + AI Integration Engineer from India 🇮🇳, building production-grade AI systems, real-time applications, and scalable backend platforms.

I work at the intersection of AI/ML, backend engineering, and system design — turning messy real-world problems into reliable, observable, and cost-aware systems.

📊 GitHub Stats

🚀 What I Do

• AI Integration Engineering — LLM/agent pipelines, tool calling, workflow orchestration, guardrails & evals
• Voice & Real-Time Systems — streaming audio, voice/call bots, session control, latency tuning
• RAG & Retrieval Systems — embeddings, vector DBs, reranking, grounding, hallucination reduction
• Document Intelligence — OCR, PDF/image parsing, structured data extraction
• Backend Systems — APIs, async workers, queues, caching, DB design, observability
• 3D / Web Visualization — Three.js pipelines (2D → 3D), GLTF workflows, performance optimization

---

🧩 How I Think About Systems

• Deterministic logic first, ML where uncertainty exists
• AI is a component, not the product
• Observability before scale
• Guardrails > prompts > models
• Latency, cost, and failure modes matter more than demos

• RAG (chunking strategies, embeddings, vector DBs, rerankers)
• Computer Vision (OpenCV, detection, segmentation)
• OCR, NLP, information extraction
• TensorFlow / Keras (practical DL workflows)

Backend / Cloud / DevOps

• Node.js, Express / Fastify, Flask / FastAPI
• AWS, Docker, Linux
• Queues, background workers, Redis caching
• Logging, monitoring, CI/CD (GitHub Actions)

Web / 3D

• React + Vite (when needed), vanilla JS
