Portrait of Arijit Gupta

Arijit Gupta

AI Engineer · LLM orchestration and agentic systems

I'm an AI Engineer at Cognizant in London. I build agentic and retrieval-augmented systems for enterprise customers, and I spend most of my time embedded with the people who will actually use them: scoping the ambiguous first version of the problem, building it, and getting it into production.

My last project there was in the UK public sector, where I was the sole AI Engineer on an agentic data discovery tool that lets analysts query 200+ enterprise datasets in plain English, turning something that used to take days of back and forth into a question answered in minutes. Before that I spent two years at ZS Associates productionising LLM pipelines over healthcare and insurance data, and I hold an MSc in Computer Science with Speech and Language Processing from the University of Sheffield.

I'm currently looking for full-time Forward Deployed Engineer and Applied AI roles, where the work sits close to the customer and ends in something shipped. If that sounds like your team, I'd love to hear from you.

Outside of work I listen to a lot of music, play video games, read about mythology and go on hikes.
