TalentPulse360
A production multi-agent generative-AI platform for HR, built on Gemini's Agent Development Kit — compressing seven-day review cycles into thirty minutes.
Building intelligent systems — and the teams that ship them.
I'm Rajesh — a technology leader in Pune, India. For nearly two decades I've built AI/ML platforms, tuned mission-critical databases for global banks, and led engineering teams that deliver enterprise software with craft and accountability.
These days I lead AI/ML engineering at Kanaka Software, designing production generative-AI systems on Google Cloud. Before that: Honeywell, Tieto, Tata Consultancy Services, and ACI Worldwide — a path that runs from C++ and payment databases to multi-agent AI platforms.
I'm open to architect, product, and AI engineering leadership roles. The best way to reach me is email; I'm also on LinkedIn and GitHub.
