Hello, I'm

Akshay Danthi

I help teams turn AI into a competitive edge - from RAG pipelines to production agent systems.

Akshay Danthi

About Me

I work with startups, scale-ups, and enterprises to translate AI potential into real business outcomes - faster decisions, smarter products, and automated workflows that scale.

I design AI systems, architect RAG pipelines, fine-tune models, and orchestrate multi-agent workflows (LangGraph, Google ADK). I move fast between strategy and implementation - whether that's writing specs, debugging embeddings, or optimizing inference costs.

Currently consulting with startups and enterprises on GenAI adoption - from building MVPs to productionizing agent systems at scale.
