Hi, I'm Shikhil
Engineer. Entrepreneur. Builder.
I build products and companies at the intersection of backend engineering and AI. Currently founding an AI startup in stealth, turning deep technical expertise into real-world solutions.
About
From engineer to founder
I've spent years mastering backend engineering — building distributed systems, designing scalable APIs, and shipping production infrastructure. That deep technical foundation is now the engine behind my entrepreneurial journey.
Today, I'm channeling everything I've learned into building my own AI startup. I believe the best founders are the ones who can go deep on the tech, think critically about the product, and move fast when it matters.

Expertise
What I Do Best
I focus on the foundational layers that make products reliable, fast, and ready to grow — from system design to production infrastructure.
Distributed Systems
Designing fault-tolerant, horizontally scalable architectures that serve millions of requests with high availability.
API Design
Crafting clean, well-documented RESTful and event-driven APIs with a focus on developer experience and performance.
Cloud Infrastructure
Building cloud-native solutions with infrastructure as code, container orchestration, and automated CI/CD pipelines.
Data Systems
Engineering high-throughput data pipelines, optimizing database performance, and designing caching strategies at scale.
AI & Intelligence
Building the AI-native future
Beyond traditional backend work, I design and build intelligent systems that leverage large language models, autonomous agents, and retrieval-augmented generation to solve real-world problems.
AI Agents
Designing autonomous agents with tool use, multi-step reasoning, and memory — capable of executing complex workflows with minimal human oversight.
Prompt Engineering
Crafting precise, reliable prompt strategies — from chain-of-thought and few-shot patterns to structured outputs and systematic evaluation frameworks.
RAG Systems
Building retrieval-augmented generation pipelines — from vector stores and embedding strategies to hybrid search and context-aware response grounding.
