ARYA
I'm a 20-year-old AI/ML engineer and founder who builds production systems — not demos. Founder of Silicon Colleague, a production-grade AI compliance gateway for India's DPDP Act 2023, demonstrated to the Managing Partner of a $500M investment fund. Currently interning as an AI Backend Engineer at opsell.ai.
About
I am a B.Tech CSE student at SRM University, Delhi-NCR with a deep, hands-on focus on AI/ML engineering, LLM systems, agentic AI, and backend infrastructure. I do not build tutorials — I build production systems with real architecture, real failure modes found and fixed, and real legal frameworks enforced in real time.
My engineering philosophy is simple: every system I build must be fail-secure, testable, documented, and production-ready from day one.
I actively seek AI/ML engineering, LLM infrastructure, and backend AI roles where I can contribute immediately — not after a 3-month ramp. I ship.
Experience
Silicon Colleague is a production-grade, multi-tenant AI Security & Compliance Gateway purpose-built for Indian enterprises under the DPDP Act 2023. The system intercepts every LLM interaction in real time through a 10-stage compliance pipeline — detecting, masking, risk-scoring, and governing sensitive personal data before it reaches any foreign AI server. Built entirely solo with no funding, no team, no external support.
- Founded & independently architected from zero: Identified a gap — no Indian tool addressed the intersection of generative AI adoption and DPDP Act 2023 enforcement. Designed entire system architecture, database schema (10 tables, multi-tenant), API layer, NLP pipeline, and deployment infrastructure solo.
- Built a hybrid 3-layer PII detection engine with 1,500+ lines of detection logic: Combined regex, BERT-based NER (IndicBERT), and a custom 5,000+ entry Indian name dictionary spanning Hindu, Muslim, Sikh, Christian, Jain, and Parsi communities. 51 rules across 7 categories mapped to 21 Indian laws.
- Engineered a 4-tier automated risk-scoring engine: Continuous 0–100 scoring with co-occurrence multipliers, contextual modifiers, and Redis-backed repeat-offender escalation. Four legally defensible tiers: LOW → MEDIUM → HIGH → CRITICAL (hard block before any AI call).
- Identified and rebuilt a critical fail-secure architecture: Red-team testing revealed a silent CRITICAL→LOW risk downgrade on provider timeout. Rebuilt entire failure path: AI-provider failover (Gemini → Claude → human review), circuit breaker, exponential backoff. System never shows ALLOWED when the request actually failed.
- Self-learning review loop: 97.1% → 99.4% accuracy: Human × Agent Review Panel updates confidence model on every decision. Never stores raw PII — only masked patterns and surrounding context.
- Enterprise security architecture: bcrypt, httpOnly JWT, 3-tier RBAC, per-table multi-tenant isolation, tiered rate limiting, bot protection, Docker network isolation, HMAC-signed audit logs.
- Demonstrated to the Managing Partner of a $500M investment fund as a billable enterprise SaaS for Banking & Finance, Healthcare, Legal, E-Commerce, and Government sectors.
opsell.ai is an AI-powered sales intelligence platform. Working on the backend engineering team, directly responsible for the data infrastructure and normalization systems powering the platform's AI/ML workflows — ensuring data quality, consistency, and reliability across the entire stack.
- Engineered a scalable multi-source data normalization engine: Python + FastAPI pipeline that ingests, cleans, standardizes, and structures data from multiple heterogeneous sources with differing schemas. Applies rule-based validation, type coercion, field normalization, and deduplication logic — ensuring downstream AI/ML models receive clean, consistent training and inference data.
- Designed and maintained core REST API backend architecture: Developed and maintained RESTful API endpoints on PostgreSQL with input validation, structured error handling, response schema consistency, and query optimization. Collaborated cross-functionally with ML and product teams.
- Improved data pipeline reliability: Identified and resolved data quality issues causing inconsistent behaviour in downstream ML models. Implemented validation layers and monitoring checkpoints at key pipeline stages — reducing silent data corruption failures.
- Contributed to backend architecture decisions: Data schema design, API versioning strategy, and pipeline scalability — bringing production-architecture thinking from Silicon Colleague into a commercial team environment.
Projects
VC firms spend 8–12 hours per deal on manual startup research, pitch deck parsing, and memo writing — with no unified AI tooling to automate or standardize the diligence process.
Built a full-stack, multi-tenant RAG-powered AI diligence platform with JWT authentication and Row-Level Security. Engineered an LLM pipeline that parses pitch decks, crawls company websites, performs semantic chunking and vector indexing via pgvector, and generates structured founder analysis, product intelligence, competitive signal scoring, and investment-grade memos. Demonstrated directly to venture capitalists as a live billable SaaS product.
Engineering teams lose 2–3 days per week to fragmented handoffs between planning, research, coding, testing, and documentation — no single system connects them.
Architected an 8-agent autonomous AI operating system. A Manager Agent receives a single natural language instruction and routes tasks across 7 specialized agents: Planner, Researcher, Coder, Tester, Debugger, Explainer, and Reporter. Integrated ChromaDB vector memory backbone enabling persistent knowledge across sessions.
Theme parks rely on static pricing, leaving significant revenue uncaptured during peak demand and low-attendance days.
XGBoost + Random Forest ensemble trained on 730 days of historical data with 9 hand-crafted engineered features. Achieved R² of 0.91+ enabling real-time, data-driven price recommendations. Delivered a 5-page interactive Streamlit dashboard with AI price predictor, competitor tracker, revenue simulator, and scenario modelling tool.

Testimonial
"What Utkarsh has built with Silicon Colleague reflects a level of architectural maturity that is rare even among seasoned engineers. The compliance pipeline design, the fail-secure fallback architecture, and the depth of regulatory mapping across Indian data protection frameworks — this is not a prototype. This is production-grade infrastructure built by a founder who understands the enterprise problem space deeply. The kind of work that makes investors pay attention."
