Who I Am

AI Architect. Blockchain Builder. World Explorer.

I'm Kunal — a Senior Staff Engineer who's spent 14 years turning "what if we could..." into production systems serving millions. Right now I'm deep in AI agents, RAG pipelines, and LLM orchestration in Toronto. I've shipped everything from a Walmart chatbot that 4x'd engagement to crypto accounting systems processing 200K transactions in 5 minutes.

💡 AI Agents Current obsession

When I close my laptop, I'm either hunting for the perfect 2am street dosa (Indore still wins), debating whether Vinland Saga or Attack on Titan has the better character arc, or planning my next trip — 10 countries deep and Japan is next. Born in India's undisputed snacking capital, I believe the best ideas come from mixing things that shouldn't work together.

I'm the kind of person who'll help you debug a model at midnight and then send you a ramen recommendation. If that sounds like someone you'd want to work with — or just grab coffee with — let's talk.

Thoughts

Why Most AI Wrappers Will Die

Everyone is building AI wrappers. The ones that survive will own the data pipeline, not the prompt. The moat is in the data flywheel, not the model.

RAG Is the New REST

Just like REST standardized how apps talk to backends, RAG is becoming the default pattern for how apps talk to knowledge. If you're building AI and not thinking in retrieval-augmented terms, you're building a chatbot, not a product.

The Best Engineers Are Translators

Technical skill gets you in the room. The ability to translate between business language and engineering language is what makes you indispensable. I've seen brilliant engineers fail because they couldn't explain why something mattered.

Blockchain Taught Me Patience

I wrote my first Solidity contract in 2021 when everyone said crypto was dead. Two years later I was processing 200K transactions in 5 minutes at Bitwave. The best time to learn something is when nobody's watching.

Travel Is a Debugging Tool

Every country I visit rewires how I think about user experience. Singapore taught me about seamless systems. India taught me about building for chaos. Italy taught me that sometimes the best interface is no interface — just pasta.

Anime Characters Are Better PMs

Hear me out: Erwin Smith from Attack on Titan understood risk tolerance better than any product manager I've worked with. Great leaders in fiction teach the same lessons as great leaders in tech — conviction under uncertainty.

Let's Connect

Let's build something together.

Whether you're building the next AI breakthrough or just want to swap travel stories — I'm in.

Toronto, Canada • Open to remote & relocation

Fun fact: I've eaten street food in most places I visit and never gotten sick. My immune system is production-grade.
