Hi, I'm Niranjan Agaram
Building intelligent systems
that actually ship.
I bridge the gap between messy data and autonomous AI. No hype—just scalable, production-grade engineering.
Beyond the Resume
My career hasn't been a straight line—it's been a grid of experiments, failures, and massive production wins.
The Builder's Mindset
I don't just architect systems; I write the code that scales them. From early-stage web dev to enterprise data lakes, I've learned that the best systems are the ones you can simplify.
Today, I help leaders cut through the AI hype and build infrastructure that drives real ROI.
Agentic AI
Building autonomous systems that plan & execute.
Core Principles
Clarity
Complex problems, simple solutions. No black boxes.
Reliability
Systems that work at 3am when no one is watching.
Long-term Thinking
Building for the decade, not just the demo.
Spiritual Grounding
Technology served with mindfulness and purpose.
Caffeine & Code
Fueled by espresso and challenging problems.
How I Can Help
Whether you need high-level strategy or deep-dive technical implementation, I partner with teams to unlock the true potential of their data.
AI & Data Strategy
Align your data roadmap with business goals. I help you choose the right stack, avoid vendor lock-in, and design for scale.
- Tech Stack Audit
- Cost Optimization
- Team Structure Advice
Data Lakehouse Architecture
Build a robust Lakehouse on Databricks, Snowflake, or AWS. Unified batch and streaming for real-time insights.
- Bronze/Silver/Gold Layers
- Governance & Quality
- Real-time Ingestion
Agentic AI Systems
Go beyond chatbots. I architect autonomous agent systems that can reason, plan, and execute complex workflows.
- RAG Pipelines
- Multi-Agent Orchestration
- Eval & Monitoring
Fractional Architect
Senior technical leadership without the full-time headcount. I guide your team through critical architectural decisions.
- Code Reviews
- Design Docs
- Mentorship
Selected Work
Real problems, messy data, and tangible business outcomes.
Scaling Real Estate Data Engine
The Challenge
Existing pipeline took 24 hours to process MLS data, leading to stale listings.
My Approach
Re-architected to event-driven architecture using Kafka and Spark Structured Streaming.
Impact
Reduced latency to <5 minutes. 30% increase in lead conversion due to fresh data.
Enterprise Lead Scoring System
The Challenge
Sales team wasted time on low-quality leads. Manual scoring was inconsistent.
My Approach
Implemented a real-time feature store and deployed an XGBoost model for lead scoring.
Impact
40% reduction in CAC (Customer Acquisition Cost). Sales team productivity doubled.
Legacy to Lakehouse Migration
The Challenge
Fragmented data across SQL Server and CSVs prevented unified reporting.
My Approach
Migrated to Databricks Lakehouse architecture with strict schema enforcement.
Impact
Unified 10+ data sources. Enabled self-serve BI for the finance team.
Recent Thoughts
Exploring the intersection of Data Engineering, AI, and Mindfulness.
