Hi, I'm Karthik
Full Stack LLM
Engineer

I'm V.S. Karthik Manikandan, a Full Stack LLM Engineer from Chennai with a relentless passion for building AI systems that solve real-world problems. My journey started at Vellore Institute of Technology (VIT), where I graduated with a B.Tech in Computer Science in 2025 — and I haven't stopped shipping since.

Currently at Montra Electric (Murugappa Group), I architect the AIRA platform — an enterprise-grade GenAI chatbot powered by RAG, LLM, MCP, LangGraph, LangChain, and LangSmith. I integrate 6+ data sources, optimize vector search pipelines, and deploy agentic AI workflows that have boosted data accessibility by 70% and cut retrieval time by 95%.

What makes me different? I don't just build models — I build products. From a Voice-Enabled Sign Language Recognition system achieving 95% accuracy to an iOS Watch App built with Cursor AI (a first-of-its-kind AI+Human collaboration in India at the time), I push boundaries where AI meets human impact.

I'm also a content creator who completed 200 consecutive daily coding challenge videos on YouTube (2025–2026), covering Data Structures, Algorithms, ML, and AI — proving that consistency compounds. My research paper on Neural Summarization for Low-Resource Indic Languages is currently awaiting publication.

Beyond code, I've held an Elite World Record (2019), coordinated sponsor teams for Riviera 2025 (VIT's world-renowned cultural fest), and sharpened my public speaking at Toastmasters (2024–2025). I believe the best engineers are also great communicators.
