Who I Am

I'm Sagar Gaikwad, a Generative AI Engineer from Pune, Maharashtra. I specialise in the full LLM lifecycle — from data ingestion and hybrid retrieval (BM25 + dense vectors) to prompt engineering, LLM evaluation, and cloud deployment.

At CYperts Digital Solutions, I led a 3-person AI team shipping production GenAI products. My work on Lawttorney.ai processed 100,000+ legal documents with 95% metadata-extraction accuracy, cutting user research time by 40%.

Every system I build is benchmarked against latency, accuracy, and user engagement baselines — because measurable outcomes are what matter.
