SaiRaj Kuchana — Senior Software Engineer

I build software at scale and I'm now specializing in making it intelligent. Over 5+ years at Lifion by ADP, I've shipped production full-stack systems (Java, Node.js, React, Python) supporting enterprise HR operations for some of the world's largest companies. I've worked across the stack UI components used by thousands of HR admins, backend APIs processing payroll and benefits data, and data pipelines feeding ML workflows. What I'm focused on now: AI engineering. Specifically, building applications powered by LLMs, designing RAG architectures, and developing the engineering depth to contribute to AI product teams at scale. A few things I've built or contributed to: → Built AI agents from scratch using LangChain including a real-time news retrieval agent and a local file system search agent as part of a structured self-directed AI engineering curriculum. → Designed a Spring Boot service using LLM-assisted data conversion that replaced an 18-month DataLake pipeline accelerating enterprise customer onboarding and unlocking $200M in ARR. → Reduced client onboarding from 2 months to 2 weeks by leading development of an automated web application, directly generating $80M in annual revenue for ADP. Technical stack: Java · JavaScript/TypeScript · React · Node.js · SQL · PyTorch · LangChain · AWS · Git Education: National Institute of Technology (NIT) I'm looking to join a team where engineering excellence and AI ambition go together. If you're building at that intersection, let's connect.
