Surendra Kashyap

Sr Lead Software Engineer · Agentic AI Platform Builder & Architect

Lombard, Illinois, USA · English (Fluent) · Hindi (Native)

Thirty years of hands-on engineering across financial services — polyglot across Python, Java, Node.js, and modern frontend. The past 18 months: sole architect, coder, and operator of a production multi-agent AI platform that converts unstructured client communications into executable, auditable financial workflows. Live across three global regions.

I shifted an engineering org's vocabulary from Generative AI — content generation — to Action AI: agents that comprehend, decide, validate, and execute. That's now the design pattern the team builds against. I made the architectural calls. I wrote the code.
