I build AI agents, retrieval systems,
and the infrastructure that runs them.

Built at OnFinance AI: a vision-based parsing engine that maps documents into pages, sections, and bounding boxes for targeted agent traversal.
INTERNAL Built at OnFinance AI. No public repository.
An AI agent that resolves refund requests against a real backend. Policy, permissions, and idempotency stay in deterministic code, and an eval harness measures false refunds, not just accuracy.
A hand-written agent loop for the Claude Messages API with no orchestration framework: harness guards, per-turn traces, verified prompt caching, and tests that run without a network.
An MCP server that gives agents Polymarket tools: semantic market search, live order books, price history, and ARIMA probability forecasts, used from a LangGraph ReAct client.
My extension of Vercel’s Open Agents reference app adds a MongoDB connector with read-only queries, execution limits, and redacted audit logs.
FORK Built on vercel-labs/open-agents (MIT). My fork adds a hardened MongoDB connector to the Python agent.
A streaming ML prototype using River and SNARIMAX to detect anomalies in simulated time-series data, with a Dash dashboard and CSV export.
Showing all 6 projects.
Building AI agents for risk, audit, and compliance in financial services.
RLHF preference ranking and pairwise comparison of model responses across coding and reasoning tasks, with evidence-based justifications for every rating.
Evaluated and benchmarked multi-model LLM outputs across STEM and non-STEM domains for factual accuracy, reasoning, and response quality.
Built a GenAI knowledge bot for developers, using retrieval-augmented generation over internal documentation and codebases to return source-grounded answers and code references.
Research internship at IIT Kharagpur, alongside my M.Sc. in Economics.
HIMANSHU KUMAR / BENGALURUI studied Economics at IIT Kharagpur. Today, I work at the intersection of business and AI: understanding the problem, designing the system, and getting it into production.
I enjoy the whole journey, from raw data and model behaviour to agent orchestration and the infrastructure underneath. The goal stays the same: build something useful that works in the real world.

I write on LinkedIn about where AI is heading and what it takes to build with it. Below are my five most-read posts on the subject, by LinkedIn impressions in September 2026, and more to explore.
Bhashini and NITI Aayog are putting voice-first AI into government services across 22 scheduled languages: speech recognition, IndicTrans2 translation, and speech synthesis. Frontier models get the headlines; this is the layer that decides whether any of it reaches a billion people.
Read on LinkedInGiven the exact solution algorithm, reasoning models still collapsed on hard puzzles. One executed 100+ Tower of Hanoi steps but failed four moves of an unfamiliar river-crossing puzzle: a reality check on memorisation versus generalisation.
Read on LinkedIn120B and 20B models under Apache 2.0, with tool use and MXFP4 quantisation; the smaller one runs in 16 GB of RAM. A welcome pivot, with caveats: text only, and no training-data disclosure.
Read on LinkedInCodex and Claude Code build file tools into the harness core. DeepSeek, inspired by Cordis, treats every capability as a plugin, so tools can be swapped at run time without restarting the agent.
Read on LinkedInGemini 2.5, AI Mode in Search, Project Astra, Veo 3, and Android XR glasses, and the questions they raise about autonomy, privacy, and over-reliance on AI.
Read on LinkedInAgents often force LLMs to act as routers and guardrails. Jev scores a finite set of typed choices in parallel instead of generating text, so there is nothing to parse and the output space is bounded.
Read on LinkedInTwo mathematicians spent a year on a problem; OpenAI says a model resolved aspects of it in 88 hours. What the dispute over research direction, private tool data, and credit says about AI inside research.
Read on LinkedInA centralised AI ranking system that gates reach in stages, weighs comment depth and dwell time, and suppresses templated, generic posts.
Read on LinkedInGoogle’s Veo generates 1080p video beyond a minute long from a text prompt: faster prototyping and B-roll for creators, and a higher bar for original work.
Read on LinkedInSarvam 2B, trained on 4 trillion tokens across 10 Indic languages, the Shuka audio model, and voice agents priced at ₹1 a minute.
Read on LinkedInOpenAI’s reported reasoning model, built with Self-Taught Reasoner techniques for maths and programming, and what a successor could mean for reliability.
Read on LinkedInDealership chatbots were talked into “agreeing” to sell a $58,000 Tahoe for $1. Why customer-facing LLMs need input validation, grounding, and guardrails.
Read on LinkedInVisual graphs, live state editing, and debugging for multi-step agent logic, from the LangChain team.

I’m open to conversations about AI engineering, intelligent products, and the systems behind them.
