About Neel
Staff Software Engineer building GenAI and agentic systems — teaching what I ship in production.
I'm Neel Kamal, a software engineer with 12+ years of experience building large-scale systems and AI-powered products across FinTech, AI, and Web3. I've delivered platforms serving 2M+ daily active users and processing 100M+ daily data transactions — work where performance, reliability, and innovation all matter.
I'm currently Staff Software Engineer at OrbitronAI, building enterprise-grade agentic AI for regulated industries — supply chain, logistics, compliance, and vendor operations. Before that, I was Tech Lead at Nuaav, where I built a data mesh integrating 40+ heterogeneous sources to power a "Talk-to-Data" feature using agentic AI and LLMs.
LearnWithNeel is where I publish practical lessons from that work — not hype, not theory in a vacuum, but patterns I've used building GenAI and agentic systems with stacks like Java/Spring Boot, Python/Flask, Node.js/Express, and AWS.
Background
My career spans founding and leading engineering teams to shipping at scale inside high-growth companies:
- Founder & CTO, Tale Wallet — built a self-custodial multichain Web3 wallet and data platform; led a team of 8 across Android, web, and smart contracts
- VP Engineering, eloelo — migrated backend to microservices, built data pipelines handling millions of requests daily, and led the pivot from short video to live streaming for an app with 20M+ downloads
- Principal Engineer, CropIn — led the Smart Risk AI/ML platform; architected workflows analysing every 10m×10m pixel in India for crop, yield, and health detection
- Founder, Fact Hunt — explored blockchain and machine learning to tackle misinformation and media bias
- Early career — SDE at LeadSquared, founder at FosterGem, and hybrid mobile apps across the CRM and content-discovery space
What I teach
The blog covers topics I work on daily: LLM fundamentals, agentic architectures, RAG and data mesh patterns, evaluation and compliance in enterprise AI, and the engineering decisions that separate demos from production systems.
