AI Engineer & Full Stack Developer

I build AI-powered applications and web systems from agentic workflows and RAG systems to full-stack products.

Shashank Sekhar VS

The Roots

Computer Science graduate working across three disciplines that are usually kept apart: applied AI, production web engineering, and UX research. Currently freelancing as a web developer while leading both the technical and design tracks of my college's department club.

The Approach

My work leans toward systems that don't just predict but act, combining forecasting models with reinforcement-learning agents that make operational decisions. My web work favours Next.js and Supabase, built for real tenants and real traffic, not demos. My design work starts from primary research: surveys, interviews, and usability testing, before a single screen gets drawn.

The Promise

But more than any one discipline, what I love is building: taking a rough idea and pushing it all the way to something real that people can open, click through, and actually use. That moment when a feature finally works exactly as imagined never gets old, and it's the reason I keep choosing projects that ship rather than projects that stay theoretical.

Where I've worked

  1. Jan 2026 – May 2026

    Freelance Web Developer

    Built a full-scale webpage end-to-end and handled its SEO.

  2. Jan 2025 – Dec 2025

    Technical Lead — Department Association

    Led the technical team across club projects: code quality, system design, and mentoring junior developers in frontend and best practices.

Things I've shipped

01

FlowForge — Autonomous Task Decomposition & Execution Engine

  • Six-stage agent pipeline that analyzes a task, plans implementation, executes it, tests the result, and independently reviews the final artifact.
  • Role-specialized agents (plan, research, draft, review) hand off work with a built-in feedback loop.
  • Built with CrewAI and the Anthropic API, with quality-threshold exit conditions.

Hybrid Framework for Predictive & Adaptive Supply Chain Management

  • Hybrid system: three CatBoost models forecast sales, delivery time, and profit per order.
  • Those forecasts feed a PPO reinforcement-learning agent, implemented from scratch in NumPy, that decides reorder quantities.
  • Evaluated on 180,519 records from the DataCo Smart Supply Chain dataset: mean reward 1843.0 vs. 1342.7 for a fixed reorder-point baseline.

Cycle World Pondicherry — Headless Cycle Storefront

  • Built and deployed a production e-commerce storefront for a bike dealership using Next.js, Supabase and PostgreSQL, with SSR, SEO-focused routing and database-level access control.
  • Achieved sub-second TTFB on catalogue pages and handled the project from implementation through deployment.

QLess — Campus Pre-Order Web App

  • The pre-order and pickup flow from the QLess UX case study, rebuilt as a working web app.
  • Menu browsing, cart, and slot booking against real capacity limits.
  • OTP pickup confirmation with a live countdown, one HTML file, no framework, no backend.

Frabe — Women's Personal Safety App

  • Driven by primary research: 80 survey respondents and 12 in-depth interviews.
  • Solved reaching emergency help in under 8 seconds via a one-tap SOS flow and a safe-area map covering 9+ location categories.
  • High-fidelity Figma screens, stress-tested through Maze usability testing.

QLess — Campus Pre-Order & Queue Management App

  • Mobile pre-ordering and live token tracking that removes physical queues at high-footfall campus dining venues.
  • Full journey mapping from browse to collection, grounded in research with canteen visitors.
  • 10 high-fidelity screens built around a sub-3-tap ordering principle.
