Hi, I'm Sethu 👋
AI Engineer

About

I am an AI Engineer focused on Legal AI with a background in Software Enigneering at Microsoft. I like turning bold ideas into working products, especially at hackathons. Off work I am a gamer and football fan who flies drones when the weather is kind. I travel when I can and have a soft spot for sci-fi and space.

Work Experience

1
  • Designed and implemented a Generative Grid like this for dynamic data extraction from 30+ legal documents using Agentic RAG.
  • Productionized a multi-agent Copilot for legal research, capable of deep reasoning, synthesis, and answering questions across multiple documents.
  • Engineered a modular LangGraph-based contract analysis workflow, achieving a 50% improvement on internal evaluation metrics for parsing, assessing, and redrafting legal clauses.
  • Productionized a scalable RAG ingestion pipeline that accurately handles OCR, chunking, data extraction and vectorization.
  • Architected scalable ML infrastructure on Azure for high-throughput, multi-tenant document processing and observability.
M
  • Redesigned a mission-critical deployment system, eliminating architectural bottlenecks in deployment checks and VPN authentication flows, accelerating large-scale deployments by 81.6%.
  • Executed a high-stakes infrastructure overhaul for a leading telecom, mitigating failure risks for millions of users across 1000s of production VMs.
  • Resolved 12+ high-priority production defects over 8 months with durable, root-cause-level fixes.
  • Spearheaded bi-quarterly product releases, coordinating cross-functional delivery to enterprise customers and internal stakeholders.
  • Maintained 99.999% system availability by triaging and resolving daily production issues and CVEs with an 11-member team.
M
  • Designed and implemented a Python-based testing framework for a Microsoft-patented cloud diagnostics uploader written in Rust. The solution was delivered to AT&T as part of a Microsoft-AT&T deal.
S
  • Shipped a feature for executing MATLAB scripts in C++ software, boosting performance by 10x for particle accelerator data analysis.
  • Led the open-sourcing of RAT, transforming a specialized scientific tool into modern, maintainable software.
  • Co-authored a toolbox for analyzing neutron reflectivity data, supporting multi-contrast fitting and custom layer models.

Education

C
  • Recognized as UK's Top 10 Undergraduate of the Year 2023 in Software Engineering.
  • Designed and trained a GAN model on a GPU Cluster using PyTorch, capable of generating realistic humans with a given clothing item, surpassing State-Of-The-Art models on most benchmarks.
  • Developed a novel diffusion model by fine-tuning a Stable Diffusion v2 model to generate realistic humans with clothing based on text input using ControlNet.
