Santosh Panda — Software Engineer

I am a Lead Software Engineer and System Architect with over 10+ years of experience building high-availability distributed systems for global retail giants. My expertise lies at the intersection of Deterministic Scale and Probabilistic Intelligence (Agentic AI). Currently, I am architecting the "Omni-Agentic Commerce", a centralized AI ecosystem integrated with the Google AI SDK. Unlike standard chatbots, this is a multi-agent orchestration layer that uses Intent Detection to route queries to specialized agents. I engineered this platform to be LLM-Agnostic, allowing us to dynamically switch between Google Gemini, OpenAI GPT-4, and Claude Sonnet based on cost and performance needs. My Core Engineering Philosophy: Scale First: "Smart" systems are useless if they crash. I have architected traffic routing strategies using Akamai to ensure 99.99% uptime during peak holiday sales. Logic over Hype: I build "Selection Logic" engines that programmatically choose the best Prompt Template and LLM for the task, ensuring production-grade accuracy. Deconstruction: I specialize in breaking down monolithic legacy code into scalable, event-driven microservices. Tech Stack: Architecture: Agentic Workflows, Event-Driven (Kafka), Microservices, Microfrontend. AI/LLM: Google AI SDK, LangChain, RAG Pipelines, Vector DBs, Python (FastAPI). Backend: Go Lang, Python & Node.js. Frontend: React.js, JavaScript, Sass, CSS & HTML. Database: MongoDB, postgresql & Vector DB (Milvus, and Weaviate). Cloud: GCP, AWS, Docker, Kubernetes. I am passionate about solving "hard" architectural problems, whether it's optimizing memory leaks in high-volume file uploads or designing the brain of a multi-agent system.

The "Omni-Agentic Commerce" (AI Architecture):
Platform Architect: Designed and built a scalable Multi-Agent Ecosystem using Python 3 and FastAPI, integrated directly with the Google AI SDK.
Agent Orchestration: Engineered an Intent Detector that acts as the system's brain, analyzing incoming queries and routing them to specialized Agents (Extraction, Summarization, etc.).
LLM Agnostic Strategy: Decoupled the architecture from specific vendors, enabling dynamic switching between Google Gemini, OpenAI (GPT-4), and Claude Sonnet.
Prompt Logic Engine: Developed a "Selection Logic" module that programmatically selects the optimal prompt structure based on file entropy and complexity.
Distributed Systems & Scale:
High-Availability Engineering: Led the re-architecture of the critical File Upload Service. Mitigated severe memory leaks by offloading traffic via Akamai to internal microservices, ensuring 99.99% uptime during peak Black Friday sales.
Hybrid Ingestion: Designed the system to handle dual patterns: Asynchronous high-volume streams via Kafka and real-time synchronous requests via REST APIs.
Modernization: Migrated legacy monolithic modules into scalable Node.js microservices, improving deployment velocity.
