SDE II · AI Engineer · Vibecoder
4.5+ years building robust backend systems and AI-powered products. Operating at the intersection of engineering discipline and AI creativity — shipping things that work, with the depth to catch what AI misses.
I’m Shashwat Agarwal, a Software Development Engineer and AI enthusiast based in India. I blend engineering rigour with an AI-first mindset to build products that genuinely move the needle.
My career spans Python back-ends, LLM pipelines, conversational AI, and data infrastructure across fast-moving Martech and mobility startups.
Beyond code, I’ve built and run a food business — which taught me to think beyond features and into real-world impact, customer obsession, and operational excellence.
These days I call myself a vibecoder: someone who uses AI as a creative and engineering force, while maintaining the technical depth to keep output production-ready. B.Tech from AKTU (2021).
Promoted after a year of strong individual contribution. Built and now lead a team of 5 engineers on the Lookfinity Martech platform.
