Hi, I'm
MAYANK SURTI
I build AI-powered applications that actually ship: agentic pipelines, RAG systems, and full-stack LLM products. I also know how to explain them to non-technical stakeholders.
// about_me
Who I Am
I'm an AI Application Engineer who specializes in building production-grade LLM-powered systems that actually ship. My focus is on agentic AI, RAG pipelines, and full-stack AI products, turning LLM capabilities into reliable software organizations depend on. I graduated from Central Michigan University with an M.S. in Information Systems (SAP) and a 3.95 GPA.
From dark web monitoring systems at a global cybersecurity firm to agentic RAG pipelines and real-time manufacturing dashboards at Detroit Manufacturing Systems / Voltava, I care deeply about code that solves real problems, and about communicating those solutions to the people who need them.
Outside of code, I've competed in stand-up comedy competitions on two continents — taking 1st at Comedy Ladder in Mumbai and 2nd on live audience votes at an open mic competition in Downtown Mount Pleasant, MI. It turns out clarity, timing, and knowing your audience applies everywhere.

Things I've Built
Nine of these are production systems shipped for real organizations, used by real users every day. One is a personal project.
FinanceAI: AI-Powered Finance Manager
Production RAG system that lets you query your personal finances in natural language. Built with FastAPI + LLaMA 3.3 70B (Groq), FAISS vector search, per-user data isolation, and a Next.js 14 dashboard with real-time charts.
DMS Issue Management System
Multi-module internal issue tracking system for plant operations.
Maintained and extended a multi-module internal issue tracking system covering HSE (Health, Safety & Environment), RISC, SQC Logs, and Service Screen Scheduling. Resolved existing bugs across all modules and shipped new features to improve operational workflows for plant floor teams.
Cycle Count Web Application
Full-stack app that eliminated manual paper-based cycle counting.
Designed and built a complete web application from scratch to replace the manual cycle count process, eliminating paper forms and Excel sheets used across the plant. Integrated SAP API for real-time inventory data, a full variance investigation workflow with a digital 12-point checklist, role-based access, email/SMS notifications, automated weekly reports to supervisors, and a scoreboard dashboard for tracking counter performance.
Estimated Impact

$30K–$75K
est. labor savings / year
Conservative estimate across a team of ~10 people — the kind of internal tool that pays for itself within its first quarter of use.
Dock Monitoring System
Real-time dock door monitoring via third-party API integration.
Integrated a third-party API to provide real-time visibility into dock door status across the plant floor. Replaced manual checks with a live dashboard, giving operations teams instant awareness of dock activity.
