Hi, I'm Mani
Senior Software Engineer · Applied AI Engineer · .NET, Azure & Agentic AI
const mani = 10y @ Insightsoftware · Philips · ADP · AI/ML MSc @ LJMU
10 years shipping software.
Now shipping AI that works.
I'm a Senior Software Engineer with a decade in the Microsoft ecosystem — from full-stack enterprise .NET to applied AI engineering. I specialize in Advanced RAG pipelines, multi-agent orchestration, and LLM-powered automation that solves real business problems in financial services, healthcare, and ERP — not prototypes that never reach production. Currently completing an MSc in AI/ML at Liverpool John Moores University.
Agentic AI Systems
Designing and shipping multi-agent orchestration, Advanced RAG pipelines, and MCP connectors that go from prototype to production in enterprise environments.
.NET & Azure Depth
10 years of .NET engineering with hands-on production depth across the Azure ecosystem — from Functions and Service Bus to AI Foundry and Cognitive Services.
Enterprise Domain Experience
Delivered AI-integrated systems across financial services (Insightsoftware), healthcare (Philips), and HCM (ADP) — domains where reliability and observability are non-negotiable.
Production-First Mindset
AI systems that ship, get instrumented with OpenTelemetry, get evaluated with RAGAS, and improve over time. Not prototypes.
“Strong backend foundation in .NET and Azure, extended with hands-on depth in Semantic Kernel, agentic frameworks, and observable production AI behavior.

Things I've Actually Built
Production systems, not side projects. Each one is live, battle-tested, and generating real value.
Enterprise Advanced RAG Platform
Production-grade document intelligence platform for legal, finance, and consulting. Hybrid retrieval (BM25 + dense vector), semantic re-ranking, query rewriting, and RAGAS evaluation — built for high-accuracy compliance document processing.
Hybrid BM25 + Vector · Semantic Re-ranking · RAGAS Evaluated
Agentic AI Reporting System
Autonomous multi-agent orchestration system for enterprise financial reporting. Three-agent pipeline — Data Retrieval, LLM Analysis, and Report Generation — connected via MCP tool layers for natural language database queries.
60% reduction in manual reporting · 3-agent pipeline · MCP tool layer
CareFlow — AI Clinical Consultation System
End-to-end AI system automating clinical consultation workflows. Agentic engine for patient intake, consultation documentation, and care plan generation with persistent vector memory across multi-turn sessions.
Multi-turn memory · Real-time escalation · Healthcare-grade compliance
XBRL/EDGAR Financial Intelligence Platform
Financial intelligence platform targeting SEC EDGAR filings. Automated XBRL extraction pipeline, anomaly detection via cross-period validation, and statistical benchmarking against industry peer data.
SEC EDGAR ingestion · Cross-period anomaly detection · Full HLD/LLD
MCP Enterprise Connectors
Model Context Protocol connectors enabling AI agents to interact with SQL databases, REST APIs, and external SaaS systems — supporting natural language queries, dynamic function calling, and real-time schema exploration.
Natural language SQL · Dynamic function calling · Schema exploration
LLM Prompt Evaluation Framework
Systematic prompt evaluation framework to measure and improve LLM output quality across model upgrades. Tracks groundedness, faithfulness, relevance, and hallucination rate across production AI pipelines.
Hallucination tracking · RAGAS metrics · A/B prompt testing

Where I've Made Impact
9+ years delivering production AI systems across finance, healthcare, and enterprise platforms — from full-stack roots to Agentic AI architecture.
Senior Software Engineer — AI & Applied Intelligence
Led the AI transformation of enterprise financial disclosure and reporting systems. Responsible for taking AI features from design through to production, working across the full stack from Azure infrastructure to API surfaces to frontend integration.
- Designed and built an Advanced RAG pipeline using Azure AI Foundry, Azure OpenAI, and Azure AI Search — combining hybrid retrieval (keyword + vector), semantic re-ranking, intelligent chunking, and query expansion for high-accuracy compliance document processing.
- Engineered a multi-agent reporting system using Semantic Kernel, AutoGen, and LangGraph, with specialized agents for data retrieval (SQL/API), LLM reasoning, and structured report generation — reducing manual reporting effort by 60%.
- Built and integrated MCP (Model Context Protocol) enterprise connectors enabling AI agents to interact with SQL databases, REST APIs, and external SaaS systems with natural language queries and dynamic function calling.
- Implemented memory-driven agentic workflows with vector memory and persistent context, enabling multi-turn document-aware AI interactions across long-horizon financial tasks.
- Developed a multi-model routing layer directing different LLMs to specialized tasks (reasoning, extraction, summarization) to balance cost, latency, and output quality.
- Created prompt evaluation frameworks to systematically measure and improve LLM output quality, reducing hallucinations across model upgrades.
- Instrumented services with OpenTelemetry, distributed tracing, and structured logging, providing operational visibility across distributed AI workflows.
Software Technologist
Delivered enhancements to a regulated healthcare platform, integrating AI capabilities and strengthening API security and reliability across patient-facing and clinician-facing systems.
- Integrated Azure Cognitive Services and Azure OpenAI to enable intelligent document processing and clinical decision support features within the platform.
- Built secure, high-throughput APIs using ASP.NET Core and Azure API Management, with OAuth2/OIDC authentication and input validation aligned to healthcare data compliance requirements.
- Developed real-time communication modules (chat and video) using SignalR, integrated into patient and clinician-facing web applications.
- Established automated regression testing pipelines using Cypress, cutting manual QA cycles and improving release stability.
Senior Member Technical
Developed and maintained microservices components for ADP's enterprise payroll and HCM platform serving global clients across multiple countries.
- Built and owned microservices-based platform APIs using .NET Core and Azure, integrating multiple enterprise data sources and downstream systems.
- Designed event-driven workflows using Azure Service Bus and Azure Functions to automate payroll processing tasks, reducing manual operational overhead.
- Improved test coverage and CI/CD pipeline reliability, contributing to a more consistent delivery cadence across the team.
Software Engineer
Built end-to-end ERP and CRM solutions across multiple client engagements in Agile delivery teams.
- Built end-to-end ERP and CRM solutions using ASP.NET MVC, Angular, and SQL Server across multiple client engagements.
- Participated in Agile delivery cycles, authored unit tests, and contributed to code reviews.
