AI Expertise

AI & Machine Learning

Building production-grade AI tools, LLM testing frameworks, and developer utilities that make generative AI reliable.

LLM Integration & Testing
Building cross-provider tools that work with OpenAI, Anthropic, Mistral, LiteLLM and more. Validating LLM JSON outputs against contracts with schema-level precision across multiple providers simultaneously.
Semantic AI Assertions
Created pytest-native semantic testing tools that verify intent, tone, hallucination detection, and PII leakage in LLM outputs. Using sentence-transformers and local models for zero-cost evaluation.
Prompt Engineering as Code
Building tools to manage LLM prompts as versioned YAML files with git integration, template variables, and registry systems. Eliminating hardcoded prompts from production codebases.
Open Source AI Libraries
Publishing production-ready Python packages on PyPI that solve real AI problems — from contract testing to semantic assertions to prompt management. All MIT-licensed, zero-dependency core.
AI Workflow Automation
Automating AI development workflows with CI-ready testing, GitHub Actions integration, baseline regression detection, and local model judges that run evaluations at zero API cost.
ML & Data Analysis
Building data pipelines with Snowflake & Azure. Data analysis and predictive analytics. Embedding-based similarity matching and model evaluation.

Mahesh Makwana — Python Developer, AI Tools Creator & PyPI Author

I'm a Python Developer specialising in back-end and full-stack development, currently serving as Senior Associate Technology at Publicis Sapient. With 8+ years of hands-on experience, I have shipped production systems across ERP, data engineering, REST APIs, AI tooling, and financial trading.

My core stack includes Python, Django, FastAPI, Odoo, Azure, Snowflake, Power BI and MySQL. I've led teams and delivered projects at HCL Technologies, TCS, Key Concepts and Comptech Infotech.

I am an active open-source contributor and PyPI library author with 15+ published packages. These solve real problems across LLM extraction, evaluation, fault tolerance, prompt injection defense, trajectory scoring, token optimization, inventory sync, returns fraud detection, carbon tracking, royalty auditing, and cybersecurity governance in production environments.

My AI/ML expertise spans LLM integration across providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Mistral, LiteLLM), semantic testing with embeddings, prompt engineering as code, and building developer tools that make AI applications reliable and testable.

I also build algorithmic trading bots integrating with Angel Broking SmartAPI and Zerodha Kite API — handling automated order execution, intraday/swing/options strategies, live market data streaming, backtesting and risk management.
