Applied AI · Search & Retrieval · Math · Travel

Hi folks, thanks for dropping by. I’m Antaripa, 26 years young, remote-first, and happiest in my world of code and travel.

I work as an Applied AI Consultant helping teams with search, retrieval, and evals.

Currently, I work with Hamel Husain closely, doing research and experiments in evals and ml models. I also do consulting as FDE with clients companies directly and have worked with couple of YC-companies as technical DevRel to bring AI native products to life. My domains span across LLM systems, search, retrieval + eval pipelines, and memory systems.

I love experimenting, explaining, writing technical deep-dives, and building. I’m especially drawn to search and retrieval as a problem space, and it is the domain I enjoy exploring the most. I also do a lots of math in my free-time ;)

Consulted Tavily, QuotientAI, Tensorlake, Mem0, and more. Previously led NLP/Search at SproutsAI + Cimba.ai.

How I work

Deeply embedded with the founding team, participating in discussions and hands-on implementation.

  • Pairing research notebooks with shipping code
  • Keeping founders close to the data while I iterate
  • Prioritizing docs + playbooks so teams stay unblocked

Currently in focus

  • Search and Retrieval systems
  • Coding agents and eval pipelines
  • Memory + personalization layers
  • LLM + agent safety tooling
  • Infra that scales from demo to prod

Outside work

Travel is what keeps me going, photography brings joys, and my family keeps me grounded. If I’m not working on something, then I’m probably building a lego set or playing cricket with my brother.
