Ishaan Reddy

I'm a software engineer based in India, currently working as a Junior AI Developer at AILACDS. I build AI-powered applications around document intelligence, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), and workflow automation.

Most of my professional work has been in AI applications, but my interests go beyond that. My personal projects cover everything from TextStruct, a local-first document intelligence engine, to Tracium, a cross-platform network monitoring tool written in Rust.

I also spend a lot of my free time learning by building. The LLM Cookbook is where I organize what I'm learning about modern language models, while SLM From Scratch is where I put some of it into practice by training small language models on consumer hardware.

    I worked on enterprise audits by testing for vulnerabilities, analyzing security controls, collecting evidence, and documenting findings for risk reviews.

  4. Telecommunications Consultants India Ltd (TCIL)

    Summer Intern

    I built a visitor-management system with automated registration and supporting data workflows.

Outside work, I use my homelab to experiment with networking and optimize local LLMs for the limited VRAM on an RTX 5070 Ti.
