Hi, I'm Pranav — building AI systems & deep-tech ventures.

AI

I design Retrieval-Augmented Generation pipelines and vector-embedding systems that ground large-language models in real-world data—then turn those breakthroughs into scalable products and bottom-line results.

About Me

About Pranav Tandon

I'm an AI-first problem-solver who pairs bleeding-edge research—RAG, semantic chunking, Model Context Protocol, agentic RAG—with pragmatic business execution. My toolkit spans Python/Kubernetes MLOps, bioinformatics pipelines, and full-stack cloud apps.

Past wins: +350% SaaS engagement at CodeCertain.ai, $800k real-estate raise at M3S Services, and an 18–23% annualized return on a $450k public-markets portfolio.
