AI Agents Implemented -
- Developed a Claude based AI-driven agent to perform automated billing tallying, reducing manual audit overhead and improving data accuracy.
- Built a custom Python based agent integrated with an in-house git hub MCP server to autonomously identify and patch CVE-based vulnerabilities across codebase repositories.
- Built a reflective agent that could convert Java code to Kotlin.
- Built a System prompt migrator service to do semantic migration of system prompts from a source LLM to a target LLM's. Syntax, formatting idioms, verbosity, system-instruction placement, JSON-format enforcement, and chain-of-thought style all vary drastically between model families — so the rewrite is performed by the target model itself.
