// whoami

I'm Sairam Ugge.

I'm a GenAI & Backend engineer at Ascendion (since Jun 2024), building production multi-agent LLM systems and the event-driven backends that keep them fast, governed, and reliable at scale.

I co-built and production-hardened Pensieve, a multi-agent orchestration engine serving 2K+ users daily, and architected the backend for AAVA Code, an AI coding plugin for VS Code adopted by 3K+ users daily across 5+ client environments. On the backend I've owned systems end-to-end — building decoupled, event-driven services with a Redis Streams + SSE pub/sub architecture.

Beyond work, I build open-source AI infrastructure in the open — agent frameworks, code-intelligence engines, and AI-native tooling (8 public repos). I also compete: Google Code Jam 2023 (AIR 420), Meta Hacker Cup 2022, and Institute Rank 1 on GeeksforGeeks & InterviewBit.

// now

What I'm focused on

  • Pensieve & AAVA Code work at Ascendion
  • Architecting solutions across work and open source
  • Building open-source AI infrastructure
  • Deepening systems & distributed-systems knowledge — open to new roles
