Summary
Karan Balaji is an AI developer with nine years of experience building 0→1 agentic systems that translate human intent into automated workflows. Currently on Pfizer’s AI team, he focuses on deploying LLM-driven enterprise solutions and driving cross-functional AI adoption. A hands-on product and design engineer, he previously co-founded a Voice AI startup in Next AI’s top 1% cohort and shipped fintechtoronto.com as a community platform while prototyping agents with Claude and Gemini.
