AI Engineer & Consultant · Ottawa, Canada

I make LLMs do useful things. Sometimes they even listen.

Currently at Ericsson building LLM tools for engineering teams while finishing my MCS at uOttawa. Open to consulting.

About me

Hey, I am Adithiyan. This is my little corner of the internet where I document what I am building, thinking about, and occasionally ranting about in the world of AI.

CS grad student at uOttawa (on a pretty good GPA streak, not that I am counting) currently interning at Ericsson where I build LLM tools for engineering teams. Before that I was at the Vector Institute working on recommendation systems and at Databrackets shipping RAG pipelines for security teams.

I care a lot about AI that actually works in production. Not just demos. The gap between impressive prototype and thing engineers trust every day is where I like to operate.

Outside work I volunteer with the Ottawa Youth Council, used to be VP Education at Toastmasters, and somehow ended up with a published paper in an Elsevier journal on ML for genetic risk prediction. The most niche thing on my CV by a wide margin.
