    Location: San Fran &#x2F; Bengaluru (I split my time between the two) Remote: Yes Willing to relocate: No Technologies: Python, JavaScript&#x2F;TypeScript, FastAPI, AWS, LLM agents, RAG, tool calling, evals, voice AI, PyTorch, TensorFlow, SQL Résumé&#x2F;CV: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;sauravtom.github.io&#x2F;resume" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;sauravtom.github.io&#x2F;resume Email: sauravalgs@gmail.com

    I’m a hands-on AI engineer and technical founder with 10+ years of experience building production products. Most recently, I was CTO at Delfino AI (YC S22), where I built voice agents for healthcare workflows—navigating IVRs, waiting on hold, speaking with representatives, and returning structured answers.

    Previously, through xAGI Labs, I built 12+ production AI systems for startups and growing teams. I’m comfortable taking an ambiguous idea from architecture and prototype through deployment, evaluation, and reliability work.

    I’m personally looking for project-based or fractional work, particularly:

    - 0-to-1 AI&#x2F;LLM products - Voice agents and phone automation - RAG, tool-using agents, evals, and production reliability - Rapid prototypes that need to become dependable products - Technical architecture or hands-on fractional CTO support

    If you have an AI product that needs an experienced builder—not just a demo—I’d be happy to talk. Short, well-scoped projects and longer engagements are both welcome.
