Hi, I'm Bala
I'm a systems-oriented software engineer who builds low-level infrastructure, deterministic pipelines, and developer tooling that prioritizes reliability, debuggability, and structured outputs over magic. I move comfortably between bare-metal-ish thinking and high-level abstractions when it actually makes sense.
Most of my work sits at the intersection of distributed systems, real-time synchronization, and applied AI — lately exploring multi agent architectures, physical intelligence, representational learning and slowly orbiting back toward robotics and simulation.
Experience
AI Agentic R&D Intern - NTT GDC
Built 'Judge', a real-time LLM guardrail and policy evaluation engine that reduced evaluation latency by 83%. Researched MCP and designed prototype multi-agent and single-agent hybrid architectures focused on reliability and controllability for enterprise AI systems.
Projects
Axle
View ProjectA real-time collaborative file synchronization system that enables teams to work together on shared directories using Git and Redis.
Judge / PolicyTree
View ProjectUnified Safety & Authorization Engine. A guardrail framework combining content moderation, RBAC, and agent tool-governance under a single policy abstraction. Uses an async tree-based policy evaluator with parallel SLM execution.
MSME Sahayata
