Applied AI / LLM Systems Engineer
I build retrieval, agentic, and inference systems for production LLM workflows.
I'm Aryan. I graduated from IIT (BHU) Varanasi. I am an AI engineer building retrieval, agentic, and inference systems for LLMs. My work usually starts as a hard constraint surface and ends as production infrastructure.
Currently an AI Engineer at Sezzle, and co-author of
DiscoveryBench
(ICLR 2025). Previously, Linux Foundation mentee in 2026, where I built an
AI assistant for the chaos engineering tool
krknctl-assist.
Reading Now
Currently reading around frontier AI safety, especially AI control,
robust evaluation, reward hacking, interpretability, and protocol-level safety.
