Welcome, AI Engineers!
👋🏽 I'm Anup. I'm an AI and Software Engineer building production Agentic AI and Generative AI systems. I work on RAG pipelines, multi-agent architectures, and multi-cloud deployments.
My newsletter, The AI Engineering Brief, covers practical AI engineering for people shipping real systems. X/Twitter/Bluesky: @anup.
Join AI engineers getting weekly insights on agents, RAG & production LLM systems

Claude Code
Who Still Understands the Code?
AI coding agents make you dramatically faster. The cost they carry is quieter: a slow erosion of how well you understand the software you are shipping. Here is how I have come to think about that trade, and how I try to stay on the right side of it.

Side Projects
ViT: 2024 - Paper Replication
Vision Transformer (ViT) Paper PyTorch Implementation
PyTorch replication of the Vision Transformer paper. Applied transformer architecture to image classification to deepen my understanding of attention over patches.
EfficientNetB2: 2024 - Paper Replication
EfficientNetB2 Computer Vision Model
An EfficientNetB2 feature extractor computer vision model to classify images of food as pizza, steak or sushi. The model performs at 95%+ accuracy, and can classify an image at 0.03 seconds inference time per image.
