Rutuj Kankaria — Backend Systems Engineer

• Eliminated AI output inconsistency incidents at the source by engineering cross-model validation logic that blocked non-consensus responses before production.

• Built an automated validation pipeline replacing a full manual review stage — zero regressions at launch.

• Cut time-to-ship on every subsequent feature deployment by removing the manual review bottleneck, saving hours per release cycle without reducing test coverage.

• Integrated AI-assisted search workflows into a production-facing web interface and ran QA across functionality, performance, and accessibility.
