Hi, I am Rudraksh Agarwal!

  1. 01 Startup guy.
  2. 02 Worked in startups — lean teams, fewer than 10 engineers.
  3. 03 Tried building a startup of my own back in 2023: an agentic AI product, before the term "agent" had even been coined.
  4. 04 I don't believe in work-life balance. Work hours aren't over till the work is complete — or you hit the Claude 5-hour token limit.
  5. 05 I understand software, product, and a startup’s vision.
  6. 06 I believe I have high customer empathy.
  7. 07 I run hiring groups for SWE, ML, Data, Product, Design, and GTM. DM me if you want in.
  8. 08 I keep learning about agentic, backend, and distributed systems.

Professional Experience

2019 — 2026

Software Engineer · Faster Outcomes

MAR 2026 — JUL 2026
PYTHON TEMPORAL MCP AGENTIC AI GCP

Drove end-to-end development (frontend and backend) of a new healthcare platform built from scratch, partnering directly with PMs and customers to scope and ship features for wellness clinics. Built a ReAct-style agentic workflow that generates patient assessments via MCP tools over patient records, and a Temporal-based sync service ingesting files from third-party legal/EHR systems — 10K+ files synced across 100+ active cases.

Senior Software Engineer · Wipro Linecraft AI

2020 — 2024
PYTHON NODE.JS LUIGI DOCKER PROMETHEUS GRAFANA

Led a team of 4 engineers across the product's core services. Built a real-time, event-driven loss-detection system ingesting multi-logger streams every 500ms (cutting manual monitoring 50%), re-architected a core ETL pipeline in Python with Luigi for 6x faster runs, and owned the backend API layer powering the Manufacturing Analytics suite. Stood up Prometheus/Grafana monitoring that cut outage detection from hours to under a minute, and containerized 5 services into Docker.

Co-Founder · Light AI Labs

2023
AI AGENTS PRODUCT STARTUP

Conceptualized an Agentic product to reduce context switching in workspace in a Pre-Agentic Era.

Global Remote Mentorship Intern · IBM

2020
PYTORCH BERT NLP

Finetuned BERT on a technical corpus using MLM, NSP, and Sequential Question Generation. Built a PyTorch language model combining a multilayered BERT-based span selection model with an Attention-over-Attention architecture, trained on a GPU cluster — achieving an F1 score of 57.7 on the TechQA dev set.

ML Intern · My Next Film

2019
PYTHON SPACY NLP

Converted text stories into movie scripts using NLP. Worked with Coreference Resolution, POS Tagging, Dependency Parsing, and Named Entity Recognition.
