PROBLEM

Complex AI workflows required multiple reasoning, retrieval, and generation services to operate reliably as one system.

APPROACH

Build modular FastAPI services with asynchronous task execution around Google CoScientist, multi-agent tournament reasoning, RAG, and molecular diffusion models.

CONTRIBUTION

Dhruva engineered the end-to-end orchestration pipeline, service APIs, caching layers, retry mechanisms, fallback strategies, and Dockerized environments.

RESULTS

The resulting infrastructure standardized dependencies and improved robustness across multi-stage, multi-environment workflows.

REFLECTION

AI platform work depends as much on failure handling and service boundaries as it does on model capability.
