Résumé
Manideep Gouraram · Applied AI Engineer & Systems Builder
Applied AI and systems engineer. I build products where a model, a rules engine or a data pipeline has to be right, not just fluent. Recent work covers tool-grounded conversational ordering, deterministic incident investigation and the evaluations that keep both honest.

Deployed web app · private repository · demo captures use a synthetic restaurant
A diner wants useful menu guidance. A language model left unchecked can invent dishes, prices or allergens, or claim cart changes that never happened.
- Role
- Sole builder: product design, database and security model, AI tool layer, interface and deployment. Developed with AI coding assistance.
- Verified finding
- In a captured session on a synthetic demo restaurant, asking the waiter to add a dish and place the order produced a server-priced summary and a confirmation question. The conversation log shows no order-submission call, and no order was created.

Independent prototype · synthetic data only · runs locally
A fulfillment exception reports what failed. It rarely says which upstream condition caused it, or which delivery promises are now at risk.
- Role
- Sole builder: problem framing, simulator, candidate-ranking engine, interface and evaluation. Developed with AI coding assistance.
- Verified finding
- On 15 fresh held-out synthetic datasets, the top-ranked candidate matched the simulator's injected condition for all 166 exceptions that had one, and 2 of 168 asserted candidates were wrong (1.2%). The benchmark is synthetic; real-world accuracy is unknown.
