Recently completed Hamel Husain and Shreya Shankar "AI Evals" course on Maven. If you're building AI products and moving beyond proof-of-concepts, this is essential learning.

AI Evals is both "art and science". You need both to ship production systems that deliver consistent value.

Top 3 Learnings from the bootcamp

1. Error Analysis > Generic Benchmarks : Instead of asking "how does this perform overall?" ask "what specific patterns of failure exist?" Systematic error analysis reveals exactly where your system breaks, in RAG retrieval, multi-step reasoning, or domain edge cases. This creates a clear engineering roadmap and eliminates guesswork about where to invest effort.

2. LLM-as-a-Judge Requires Rigor : Using peer LLM to judge outputs isn't enough on its own. The course teaches an iterative process: align with domain experts, build calibration sets, measure reliability, and validate continuously. Continuous calibration is more important than continuous deployment.

3. Know When NOT to Write an Eval : Not everything needs an eval. The key is distinguishing high-leverage evals that unlock rapid iteration from low-ROI vanity metrics. This judgment, understanding trade-offs between eval coverage, velocity, and cost lets you to ship products quickly with “Honest uncertainty”

Essential for anyone responsible for delivering a high-quality AI Product.

What evaluation challenges are you facing? I'd love to compare notes.

A key takeaway from conversations with global AI leaders at Tech Circle 2025: success with agentic AI begins with the purposeful design of human-AI collaboration. When the architecture is intentional, humans and autonomous systems complement each other at their highest leverage.

Thank you Sandhya Ramachandran Arun and the Wipro Intelligence team for organizing Tech Circle 2025.

Grateful to be part of this community as we figure out what responsible enterprise autonomy actually looks like in practice.

AI leaders, researchers, and strategists from global enterprises and research institutes, came together at the Tech Circles at our Kodathi Innovation Lab in Bengaluru.  The theme, "Agentic Enterprises - from Automation to Autonomy", evoked high energy discussions, debates and constructive dialogues. While emphasising the need for pragmatism and the importance of de-risking AI adoption, there was consensus that AI solutions must be both responsible and scalable by design. AI forward enterprises are evolving with both Responsibility and Autonomy edited into their DNA. Most importantly, we concluded that  an AI-First approach to enterprise transformation must be human centric. A big thank you to all our speakers, guests and organizers! #WiproInnovationNetwork #WiproIntelligence

Software Engineer Intern

BMSCE Utsav

Headed the tech team for BMS College of Engineering's annual techno-cultural fest UTSAV which sees over 5000+ registrations from over 200 universities across India and thus making a robust online registration platform along with other helper insider websites was the goal we had to achieve.
My team worked with the mern stack with typescript , mongo db , next Js , react Js for the development .
Redis cache was used inorder to cache the data being returned from the server to the client to boost the speed of the website by almost 11x times which greatly improved the overall performance.
Got to work with Rabbit MQ which was used to contain all the information which we were supposed to send to the users upon successful registration and payment. 
Worked extensively in developing and working with google drive and google sheets APIs which essentially were used for dynamic creations and automated population of the event registration information which avoided manual work by almost 90% from previous years .
Got to learn to work with nginx , pm2 node process managers and digital ocean hosting throughout this journey.
Also Worked with atom payment gateway platform which provided ways to complete online transactions through the web portals for various registrations.

Full stack mern developer 

BMSCE PhaseShift

Worked on developing a smooth and highly responsive web page for BMSCE Phase Shift , which is the annual TECH SYMPOSIUM where various colleges from all parts of India take part .
Due to the Covid-19 pandemic the above mentioned fest was to be conducted online and hence required a very robust backend along with a very attractive front end.
So being a part of the development organizing committee member it was our duty to provide the same.
We as a team worked on designing the website using modern industry standard technologies and tools.
NodeJs, NextJs ,TypeScript ,TypeOrm , ReactJs etc are the primary technologies and frameworks we have used inorder to build this website.

I have also developed strong skills in DevOps and cloud computing, which have allowed me to streamline the development process and optimize system performance.

Additionally, I am well-versed in database management skills, computer networks, and cybersecurity. With a primary focus on solving day-to-day problems, I excel in API and backend design, data science, and data mining. My experience in these areas has given me the opportunity to develop a deep understanding of the technical nuances that underpin modern development and data management techniques.

I take pride in my ability to learn quickly and adapt to new challenges, which has allowed me to thrive in both individual and team settings. My passion for solving complex problems drives me to continually develop and refine my skills, making me a valuable asset to any organization.
