Engineering systems that hold up under real-world constraints.
I'm Yash Bhavsar — a software engineer at Finaptive, previously at AMD. I own client deployments from discovery call to production go-live, and I build agentic AI systems the same way I build data pipelines: LLMs where they earn their keep, deterministic code everywhere a mistake would actually cost something.

Things I've built
-
01
Adam
GitHubAn agentic outreach pipeline that turns a fresh job posting into a personalized, verified, ready-to-send email — where LLM agents do the research and writing, and deterministic code owns every consequence.
- 8-stage pipeline orchestrating 2 tool-calling Claude agents (contact research, drafting) — agents propose, typed & audited code decides, and each agent sees only the context it needs.
- Human approval enforced by architecture, not policy: no code path can transmit a message — drafts land in Gmail over IMAP, backed by per-company rate limits, address verification and prior-contact checks against real sent mail.
- LLM-as-judge qualification over 300+ live postings, with frozen anchor postings in every batch as a drift alarm — measured evals retired a legacy heuristic scorer the day it underperformed.

Lunar Landing RL Hackathon 🏆 1st place
GitHubA reinforcement-learning agent that took first place at an RL hackathon by learning to land the LunarLander.
- Deep Q-Network in PyTorch reaching a 285.3 reward score.
- Finished 1st out of 50+ competing teams.
Also built
- Intelligent Email Sorting ML pipeline (spaCy + NLTK) hitting 90% classification accuracy with GDPR-aware processing.
- Embedded LiDAR Mapping Low-level I2C/UART sensor integration with a Python 3D point-cloud visualizer.
- PseudoGate AST-based tool that injects AI-generated imperative logic into Python stubs.

Jun 2025 — now
Software Engineer
FinaptiveThe forward-deployed job, in practice: I run the discovery call, own the integration, and answer for it in production.
- Own the full lifecycle of 15+ client deployments across SAP, Costpoint, Blackbaud, PointClickCare, Xero & SFTP — from discovery calls with CFOs through go-live and ongoing optimization.
- Designed a production classification engine on the Claude API that maps unstructured client data to standardized financial schemas — the LLM proposes, deterministic validation decides what reaches reconciliation.
- Led the PointClickCare marketplace integration end to end: technical validation calls, API safeguards, and a webhook-driven incident-alert system serving 10 healthcare facilities.
- Architected a Celery/Redis dispatcher–executor pipeline — isolated queues, distributed locking for idempotency, rate-limit retries — cutting processing time 87%; handles 5M+ records/day on KEDA autoscaling with 30× headroom.
- Built a connector framework (OAuth2, REST, ODBC, SFTP) that turned one-off integration work into zero-code client onboarding.

Feb — May 2025
Software Engineer Intern
FinaptiveHired full-time four months in.
- Built the initial ETL pipeline — transformation workflows, validation checkpoints, and Celery RedBeat scheduling for automated ingestion across client ERP environments.
- Added data-preview endpoints so clients inspect upstream samples before full runs — catching schema issues early and cutting bad-transfer support tickets.

May 2023 — Apr 2024
Design Automation Engineer Intern
AMD- Built Python / C-Shell automation that eliminated 20+ hours of weekly validation work across hardware design workflows.
- Led code reviews and static analysis across 10+ hardware design projects, surfacing 100+ critical defects.
- Developed a real-time PHP/JS dashboard for test-result observability and system-risk triage.
03 — About
Who's building this
I like hard, well-defined problems — systems with real constraints, where correctness and architecture genuinely matter. At Finaptive I own client ERP deployments end to end — from the discovery call with a CFO through production go-live; before that I was at AMD.
Most of what I build leans the same way: agentic systems where the LLM calls tools but deterministic code owns the consequences, financial-data pipelines, and tools that make complex systems legible. I care about tests, clean boundaries, and shipping things that hold up after the demo.
