Why teams hire me

Most agent projects die between the demo and production. I build the part that usually kills them: state design, evals, guardrails, and observability. My own product — Yuvan, a voice-first AI tutor — runs live on LangGraph, RAG, and OpenAI Realtime with paying schools, so every recommendation comes from a system I operate, not a slide deck.

What You Can Hire Me to Build

Production agentic AI development — freelance, contract, or embedded

LangGraph agent systems

Multi-step, stateful agents: orchestration topology, persistence, human-in-the-loop, retries, and failure isolation.

RAG pipelines

Chunking, embeddings, pgvector, hybrid search, semantic caching, and retrieval evals — answers grounded in your data.

Voice AI agents

OpenAI Realtime + WebRTC voice agents with sub-1.5s latency, barge-in handling, and cost control.

MCP & tool integrations

Agents wired to your real systems — MCP servers, function calling, and permissioned tool access.

Evals & reliability

LangSmith evals, agent traces, verifier patterns, and guardrails — so the agent behaves when nobody is watching.

AI backends

Async FastAPI, multi-tenant Postgres/pgvector, streaming, and the infrastructure an agent product actually needs.

Engagement Models

Embedded Contract

I join your team as the senior agentic AI developer.

  • Part-time or full-time contract
  • US/EU time-zone overlap
  • Mentors your engineers as we build
Best for: teams building in-house

Rescue & Hardening

Your prototype works in demos, fails with users.

  • Failure-mode analysis + evals
  • Agent graph restructure
  • Guardrails and observability
Best for: stuck agent projects
Background

15+ years of production engineering: Amazon (Payments), Agoda, CoinSwitch (scaled 600K → 10M users), PhysicsWallah (Director of Engineering). AWS Certified Solutions Architect. Now founder of Yuvan and a hands-on agentic AI developer, AI trainer, and consultant working with clients worldwide.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I hire an agentic AI developer?

Book a free 30-minute intro call or email arjun@arjunthakur.dev with what you're building. You'll get an honest read on scope, feasibility, and which engagement model fits — before any commitment.

What does an agentic AI developer actually build?

LLM systems that act, not just answer: multi-step agents orchestrated with LangGraph, grounded with RAG, connected to real tools via MCP, with guardrails, evals, and observability for production reliability.

Do you work freelance / contract with overseas clients?

Yes — remote-first and worldwide, with substantial overlap for US and European time zones. From a scoped 2–6 week build to ongoing embedded work.

Why hire a single senior developer instead of an agency?

You work directly with the engineer who designs and writes the system — no hand-offs, no juniors on your budget. 15+ years at Amazon/Agoda and a live agentic AI product with paying customers.

Our agent works in demos but fails with real users. Can you fix it?

Yes — that's the rescue engagement. Measure failure modes, restructure the agent graph, add verification and observability, then iterate against evals.
