Hi. I am Madhav. I'm a Lead, Software Development, AI at Security Compass, a leading cybersecurity company. I lead three teams (10 engineers) that build Agentic AI solutions for enterprise security teams and software engineers.
I can help you with:
Building agentic AI systems
- Designing agents that work in a real product: tool use, MCP, and deciding what the model should and shouldn't do
- Testing and evaluating agents so you know when they're wrong
- Moving your own work, or your team's, to AI-assisted development
Moving up as a software engineer
- Getting promoted to senior or staff. I've helped 10 engineers get promoted, so I know what a strong case looks like from the manager's side.
- Moving from engineer to manager, and working out whether you want to
- Learning to lead without the title: owning a project, influencing decisions, writing design docs
How I work:
I'm direct, and I'll tell you what I think. We work on your actual problem, like a promotion case, a design decision or a hard conversation. I don't follow a set curriculum.
Good fit: engineers building with LLMs and agents, and mid-level or senior engineers aiming for their next level or a first management role.
RAG is an important tool in grounding an LLMs answer into facts and information you care about.
