Akash Kriplani — Software Engineer

I’m Akash Kriplani, an engineer with 11+ years of experience building production-grade software, now transitioning into AI Engineering after completing a Master’s specialization in Generative AI and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG). My foundation is in modern frontend engineering—Angular (2+), TypeScript, React, and scalable SPA architectures—where I’ve led teams and delivered performant, maintainable applications for global clients. Over the years, I’ve worked across the full frontend stack, from HTML, CSS/SCSS, and responsive design to complex state management, modular architectures, and real-world backend integrations. Today, I combine this deep frontend expertise with hands-on AI/ML capabilities, focusing on GenAI, RAG pipelines, and LLM-powered applications. My work sits at the intersection of AI and real products: designing robust RAG systems, improving retrieval quality, integrating AI workflows into applications, and ensuring AI features are usable, scalable, and business-relevant. During my Master’s program at Liverpool John Moores University, I specialized in RAG architectures, working extensively with document ingestion pipelines, vector embeddings, similarity search, prompt engineering, and response grounding to build reliable, context-aware AI systems. I’m excited by opportunities where strong engineering fundamentals meet AI innovation—whether that’s architecting interactive applications, embedding AI features that drive measurable impact, or mentoring teams on modern engineering and AI best practices. I’m actively exploring AI Engineer / Applied Generative AI / RAG Engineer / (Angular + GenAI) roles where I can leverage both AI system design and practical software engineering experience to deliver meaningful, production-ready solutions.
