About Me

Lead Engineer

Backend Development Generative AI Web Applications

Hello! I'm Kishan, a Lead Engineer at Presidio with 4+ years of experience in Backend Development, Generative AI, and Web Applications. I lead the Innovation (R&D) team, building autonomous AI agents, developer tools, and enterprise platforms that bring AI into real workflows.

A big part of my work involves collaborating with different practices across the organization, understanding their pain points and problem statements, and figuring out how AI can solve them. I also enjoy helping teams build AI skills and get comfortable adopting these capabilities in their day-to-day work.

I hold a B.Tech in IT from VCET, Madurai, and I'm currently based in Coimbatore. Along the way, I've won multiple company hackathons and was recognized as Innovator of the Year 2025.

Professional Experience

Lead Engineer

March 2025 - Present

Presidio

Innovation Team
  • Tech Lead for Innovation & HAI (HumanAI)
  • Regularly collaborate with multiple practices across the organization to understand their pain points and problem statements, and work on bringing AI-driven solutions to address them. Also focused on enabling teams with AI skills and helping the organization adopt AI capabilities effectively.
  • AI Studio – An enterprise platform for building and deploying custom AI assistants and agents, widely used by non-technical teams across the organization, especially the Networks and Platforms practices. My role involves unblocking the team on technical challenges, architecting solutions, sourcing ideas from cross-practice discussions, and contributing hands-on to key features.
    • DeepResearch – Architected a deep web research system (using parallel.ai to fetch and synthesize information from multiple sources simultaneously) that enables agents to perform deep, comprehensive research
    • Agent Skills Integration – Laid the foundation for a skills-based agent architecture, inspired by an Anthropic engineering blog, enabling agents to dynamically load and execute specialized capabilities
    • Long-term Memory – One of the primary developers. Forked from the openmemory repo, added multi-user isolation, pgvector support, and offline memory consolidation. Published as a standalone npm package under Presidio: @presidio-dev/agent-memory
    • Code Execution – Designed the architecture and laid the foundation for a code execution capability that orchestrates MCP tools, similar to how Anthropic's Code Mode MCP works
    • MCP Ecosystem – Leading the Modern Networks team in building MCP servers for the networks and other practices, which plug directly into AI Studio
    • Deckster Migration – Helped migrate Deckster (a pre-sales tool that pulls historic engagement and customer data from Presidio's SharePoint) into AI Studio as a Deckster MCP
    • Modern Platforms collaboration – Currently working with the Modern Platforms practice on proposal generation and migration wave planning (master server inventory, TCO calculation), which will be surfaced through AI Studio
  • Oswald – Architected and developed an autonomous AI-powered code review agent that integrates with GitLab and GitHub to automatically review pull requests, provide inline feedback, and engage in review discussions. Features a skills-based extensible architecture, multi-LLM provider support (Anthropic, OpenAI, Local models), and support for custom project rules and guidelines.
  • HAI Framework – Ideated and built an in-house TypeScript-based agentic framework that streamlines the development and orchestration of autonomous AI agents with multi-LLM support, a comprehensive tool system, adaptive learning mechanisms, and robust performance monitoring. Now powers multiple tools we develop in Presidio and has been adopted in customer solutions as well.
  • AWS Marketplace CRE Agent (Code Reverse Engineering) – Created an autonomous agent that analyzes entire codebases across multiple dimensions (architecture, dependencies, technical debt). Published as an AWS Marketplace AI agent offering, establishing Presidio as an AWS Marketplace launch partner.
  • HAI SEAL (Self-Evolving Application Lifecycle) – Developing an AI-powered platform where teams of autonomous agents asynchronously analyze and evolve applications in the cloud through autonomous monitoring, intelligent issue resolution, and continuous business-technical alignment. Currently being explored to automate the code-related audit process for customer engagements.
  • HAI Modernize
    • MonoToMicro Workflow – Developed an AI-powered workflow system that modernizes legacy enterprise monolithic applications into modern microservices.
    • HAI RapidUI – Created autonomous AI agents that generate complete UI applications from UX wireframes. Supports React, Angular, Vue, and Next.js with AI-powered UI validation, self-healing retry mechanisms, and seamless backend integration via Swagger docs.
  • Agentic Enablement – Created a 6-week curriculum for agentic AI enablement across the organization, complete with quizzes and hands-on exercises. Still a go-to resource for anyone in the organization getting started with AI agents.
  • Mentoring – Actively mentoring 5 team members, helping them set career goals and enabling them to write and publish technical blogs.
  • Hiring – Part of the innovation team's hiring process, having interviewed 8 candidates so far.


Received the Innovator of the Year 2025 Pinnacle Award for leading AI initiatives at Presidio, driving AI-led innovation and modernization of enterprise applications.
