Hi, I'm Nitheshkummarπ
Backend Engineer focused on AI-native systems β where the LLM proposes and deterministic systems decide. I build reliable backend systems, secure retrieval pipelines, and agentic workflows with hard boundaries around what the model is allowed to do.
The model recommends recovery actions; a deterministic policy engine validates every recommendation before execution. Model output is a suggestion, never an authority. A deterministic resolution layer reconciles late, duplicated, contradictory, and out-of-order webhook events before AI reasoning runs. Execution is only considered successful after system state is verified against the intended outcome.

π PlanPal
Community-driven event-management platform with JWT authentication, role-based authorization, event participation workflows, and a PostgreSQL-backed REST API.

RAG system where permission checks run inside the same SQL query as vector retrieval, so unauthorized document chunks never reach the LLM. Uses role-aware partial HNSW indexes across three clearance levels, verified against live PostgreSQL EXPLAIN plans. Validated with a 105-test suite and instrumented end-to-end with Langfuse.

Distributed root-cause analysis platform for Apache Spark β reconstructs execution DAGs from event logs, traces failures through Reverse BFS, and classifies failure scenarios from runtime telemetry with 88.2% accuracy.

Deterministic, explainable candidate-ranking engine that evaluates 100,000 candidate profiles against a job specification in under 2 minutes on a single CPU core, with zero runtime network dependencies.
