Ritesh Yadav

Building high-throughput GPU kernels, enterprise Agentic AI systems, and cloud-native LLMOps infrastructure.

I am an AI/ML Engineer working across the full spectrum of machine learning engineering: from writing custom CUDA SGEMM kernels and optimizing hardware memory hierarchies to orchestrating enterprise multi-agent systems with LangGraph, Model Context Protocol (MCP), and scaling cloud-native Kubernetes platforms.

Currently at 66degrees, I architect multi-horizon time-series forecasting engines (TFT and TiDE across 141 configurations on Vertex AI and GKE) and multi-agent extraction systems with LangGraph supervisors, human-in-the-loop gates, and LiteLLM telemetry. Previously at IntellectAI, I scaled financial GenAI platforms to sub-200ms p95 latency, integrated automated LLM-as-a-judge evaluation harnesses, and deployed serverless inference pods with cold-start pre-warming.
