Raghuraman (Raghu) • UT Austin MS, Class of 2026

Graduating in May 2026 from UT Austin. Previously a Forward Deployed Engineer at Sprinklr, where I worked on conversational AI and CCaaS TTS workflows as their first university hire.

Product-facing AI systems and agentic workflows. Coursework: Optimization and Generative Models. Open to full-time AI Engineer, Forward Deployed Engineer, and Solutions Engineer roles.

Campus ambassador for Perplexity and OpenAI Codex, and a founding member of Sprinklr's We Care Pan-Asian Network.

Experience

NetApp • Machine Learning Intern

Applied ML | Forecasting | Regime segmentation | Product analytics

Working on website-visit signal analysis and product-usage trend prediction for adoption planning. The work centers on state-space forecasting, regime segmentation, and building decision-support outputs that product teams can actually use.

Sprinklr • Senior Forward Deployed Engineer

Conversational AI | Customer delivery | CI/CD | Production debugging | Demos

Led discovery, demos, implementation, and production debugging for customer-facing conversational AI deployments. Delivered end-to-end technical work across rollout, issue triage, and handoff, with a mix of product context and direct customer ownership.

Zifo RnD Solutions • Associate Consultant

Python | Genomics ETL | Data pipelines | Large-scale workflows

Built Python-based genomics ETL and large-scale data workflows for downstream analytics. The work was heavy on data pipeline reliability, workflow design, and getting structured datasets into usable shape for later analysis.

My recent Hackathon wins and Technical Submissions

DraftForge Repair Agent

AkashML | FastAPI | Analyze-and-repair workflow | Patch generation | Static web studio

AkashML-themed code repair agent built around an analyze-and-repair workflow that inspects issues, generates patches, and exposes the flow through a FastAPI backend and static web studio. It is framed like a production-style developer tool rather than a one-off hackathon script.

  • Implemented a code-analysis to patch-generation loop designed for iterative repair workflows.
  • Structured the project around backend, UI, and CI-oriented roadmap thinking for production-style delivery.

LifeLedger

Data Portability Hackathon 2026 | Multi-source ingestion | Grounded insights | Explainable outputs

Personal finance intelligence engine built around multi-source ingestion, grounded insight generation, and explainable outputs. It is designed as a decision-support workflow that keeps recommendations traceable instead of relying on opaque summaries.

  • Combined multiple portable data sources into a single finance-oriented intelligence workflow.
  • Prioritized grounded and explainable outputs so insights remain inspectable for end users.

ChargePilot EV Optimizer

Python | ETL pipelines | Graph message passing | Facility-location optimization | Next.js | GeoJSON

Geospatial AI decision-support system that ingests real mobility and infrastructure datasets, learns site scores, and ranks EV charger expansion scenarios through a map-based interface. It combines ETL, learned scoring, graph message passing, and facility-location optimization into a deployment-ready recommendation engine.

  • Implemented an end-to-end pipeline from public urban data through scored recommendations and scenario artifacts.
  • Produced map-ready outputs for interactive decision support instead of stopping at a notebook-only analysis.

Smart Doc Approver

LangGraph | OCR | LayoutLMv3 | Anomaly detection | Approval routing | Human-in-the-loop

Agentic receipt automation system that combines OCR, document extraction, anomaly detection, and approval routing for production-style document workflows. It routes uncertain cases through human review and uses feedback loops to improve extraction quality over time.

  • Unified extraction, validation, and confidence-based routing so low-confidence cases do not silently fail.
  • Closed the loop with review feedback to drive repeated model-quality and validation-quality improvements.
