Prasanth Janardhanan is a Senior Backend Engineer and LLM systems architect with 14+ years building production-grade AI and cloud-native systems, currently contracting in Cisco’s DevNet division. He specialises in production LLM pipelines, agentic RAG systems, and Go-based AI infrastructure—authoring gomcpgo, a Go-native MCP framework, and an open-source EU AI Act Compliance Navigator that maps regulatory obligations to concrete checks. His work spans from intent-driven Kubernetes provisioning and deployment orchestration to document intelligence and Temporal-orchestrated AI pipelines in fintech, consistently focusing on reliability, governance, and developer ergonomics. Notably, he built the first ML model to decode Grade-2 contracted Braille (published on Hugging Face) and integrates internal docs as structured context for LLM workflows. Comfortable across Go, Python, Kafka, Kubernetes and OpenAPI tooling, he combines research-led model development with pragmatic engineering to ship tools that didn’t exist before. Based in Bengaluru, he balances enterprise AI governance experience with hands-on open-source contributions and practical product delivery.
