AI Systems Engineer
Aaryan Patwardhan
I build systems that see, decide, and heal themselves.
About
Systems thinker.
Vision AI and autonomy.
Pursuing a B.E. in Information Technology at SPPU. I design autonomous AI pipelines — from real-time computer vision at 55fps to self-healing server daemons and passive attendance intelligence. I work at the intersection of deep learning, systems design, and edge inference.
Experience
What I've built
AI Core Lead
2026SentinelMesh — INSPIRON 5.0 (CSI COEP)
- —Designed MAPE-K autonomic loop for self-healing autonomous drone fleet
- —YOLOv8n at 55fps on RTX 3050 Ti with dual CUDA co-inference (vision + LLM)
- —Built Adversarial Debate Engine: Agent-A Dispatcher vs Agent-B Skeptic before any dispatch
- —Implemented confidence tier gating — LLM bypassed at conf ≥ 0.88 for ~50ms dispatch
Systems Engineer
2026Ghost-Admin — Autonomous Server Healing Daemon
- —Built 7-stage MAPE-K closed-loop: trend-based pre-detection, behavioral fingerprinting, multi-signal context fusion, semantic intent classification, graceful degradation ladder, pre-kill forensic dumps, and SIEM-ready JSONL audit log
- —llama3.2:3b via Ollama (CUDA) classifies process intent across 5 categories including UNDER_ATTACK — giving the daemon rudimentary intrusion detection built in
- —RAG memory layer (FAISS + sentence-transformers) retrieves similar past incidents before every AI query — daemon improves with each event
- —Reduced mean time to detection from ~15 minutes (on-call) to under 30 seconds; zero cloud API calls
Backend Engineer
2026Aura — Passive Attendance Intelligence
- —Ingested RADIUS Accounting logs from campus WLC — no student app, no QR codes, no cooperation required
- —Primary session key is 802.1X-authenticated User-Name, not MAC address — immune to MAC randomization (iOS 14+, Android 10+)
- —Isolation Forest Focus Score detects bandwidth anomaly patterns multivariant on (bytes, duration) jointly — no hardcoded thresholds per course type
- —Full stack: FastAPI ingestion (async, <100ms), Redis session state, PostgreSQL persistence, React dashboard with role-based views
Backend Engineer
2026Upwork Automation Pipeline
- —Built two-version automated job-hunting pipeline with LLM scoring and Telegram alerts
- —V2: composite scoring (50% AI relevance, 25% client quality, 25% competition opportunity)
Projects
Things I've shipped
