AI ARCHITECTURE & ENGINEERINGPERSONAL PORTFOLIO / 2026

Rahul Yadav.

A thoughtful mind.
A hands-on builder.

I connect the big picture with the work it takes to get there. I shape architectures, find where AI adds value, and turn ideas into useful products.

A FEW THINGS I’VE PUT MY MIND TO

Ideas, put to work./ 03

01 / SENTINEL-FIFINANCIAL INTELLIGENCE
FINDING WHAT GETS MISSED

Small leaks.
A bigger picture.

A financial audit system for spotting leakage in small-business transactions and turning findings into reviewable next steps.

Inside the decisionsOPEN THE STORY
THE PROBLEM

Classification alone does not explain which financial issues deserve attention or what should happen next.

THE CHOICE

Separate the audit workflow from cleanup execution. Keep decision traces and require approval before consequential actions.

THE NEXT QUESTION

How should recovery and repeated requests behave before cleanup is connected to real financial operations?

02 / TRANSACTION AITRY A DESIGN DECISION

Does this really
need an LLM?

One of the most useful AI decisions is knowing when you already have enough information.

Transaction AI combines merchant signals, rules, ML, and selective LLM reasoning. Explore one branch of its fast-mode routing below.

What do the existing signals tell us?

RULESFood & dining92% confidence
MACHINE LEARNINGFood & dining94% confidence
SKIP THE LLM

Enough agreement to take the simpler path.

Both signals agree and meet the 90% fast-mode threshold. This branch does not need an LLM call.

Synthetic signals, not measured model outputs. Illustrates the rule + ML branch with fast mode and LLM routing enabled; no model runs here.

Good stories start
with good questions.

THE EXPERIENCE BEHIND THE WORK

A career built
by building.

I started in software engineering and automation. Today, I design and build AI systems. That journey taught me to care about the architecture and the details that make it hold up.

A little less architecture. A little more me.

BEYOND THE JOB TITLE

There’s a person
behind the projects.

Alongside the engineering, I write Hindi poetry, make cinematic videos, and explain AI through RahulDecodesAI.

I like having room for both: the careful thinking that a system needs, and the curiosity that makes you pick up a camera or write a few lines.
