about
Samarth is an LLM engineer with a product engineering background. He works best where AI behavior, software quality, and product judgment all matter.
His current LLM engineering work covers RAG, AI agents, function calling, prompt engineering, QLoRA fine-tuning, OpenAI API, Claude-style APIs, Hugging Face, Ollama, LangChain, LlamaIndex, model selection, evals, and multimodal AI. He has also worked through a range of applied AI patterns spanning multimodal applications, document and content workflows, performance optimization, and multi-agent systems.
Before moving deeper into LLM work, he built and shipped product software across React, Next.js, TypeScript, React Native, backend integrations, APIs, auth, data models, and deployment workflows. That product background matters because most AI features fail at the product layer, not only the model layer.
Across SaaS, healthcare, education, AI, Web3, and consumer products, he has repeatedly been the engineer turning ambiguous ideas into clear product surfaces and stable implementation. He is especially useful on teams that need an LLM engineer who can also ship the interface, workflows, and production details around the model.
project history
Founded and built a secure document sharing and virtual data room product as a solo founder. Owned product strategy, interface design, backend systems, permissions, analytics, payments, and launch readiness.
Strong signal for teams that want founder-level ownership, frontend depth, and full-stack follow-through in one engineer.
Led frontend architecture for a production web app and drove full TypeScript adoption across the codebase. Shipped user-facing features while tightening shared interfaces, reducing ambiguity, and making the app easier to scale.
Good example of senior IC work that improves architecture without slowing delivery.
Built and maintained the web application through multiple product iterations, with most of the work centered on frontend quality, application flow, and end-to-end delivery. Worked closely with stakeholders on how the product should feel and function.
Strong fit reference for product teams that need engineering execution close to product decision-making.
Built a React Native mobile wallet from scratch on top of an existing Web3 stack. Owned the mobile implementation, integrated contract-layer capabilities, and helped the app feel dependable on mobile.
Useful signal for teams hiring for React Native work that needs architecture and systems integration, not only screen implementation.
Built the MVP for a mission-oriented community conversation platform from scratch. Owned core product flows across the stack and helped turn early product direction into a usable first release.
Good example of early-stage product work where one engineer needs to convert rough scope into something real.
Built a MERN application for legal document creation and PDF generation. Defined architecture and engineering guidelines early, then carried them through implementation so the product stayed maintainable as scope grew.
Good hiring signal for teams that need product delivery plus architecture discipline from the start.
Built multiple responsive websites from scratch, including Acquisition Royale, an interactive NFT-based game web app. Also set up shared frontend package foundations used across internal projects.
Relevant for teams that need polished frontend delivery and stronger shared UI foundations.
Built a React Native mobile app for smart lawnmower workflows and contributed to product and engineering decisions across architecture and implementation.
Useful example of mobile product work where real-world device interaction and user trust matter.
Shipped features for a live e-learning platform, led the frontend migration from JavaScript to TypeScript, and set up the initial end-to-end testing skeleton with Selenium and BrowserStack.
Clear proof of hands-on migration, frontend quality work, and delivery support inside an existing product.
Led product and engineering as co-founder and CTO for a competition platform focused on simple participation and video submissions. Owned technical direction, cross-platform app delivery, and contractor management.
Founder signal for teams that value ownership, product thinking, and execution range.
Led the migration from separate Objective-C and Kotlin apps to a shared React Native codebase for Android and iOS, shipped EMR product features, and helped hire for a new initiative.
Strong evidence of modernization work inside an existing product with real delivery pressure.
Built digital healthcare products across web and mobile, including patient and doctor applications for appointments, communication, and video consultations.
Good reference for product execution in high-trust, user-facing systems where reliability matters.

testimonials
I had the privilege of working with Samarth early in my career, he was one of the first engineers I partnered with as a Product Manager, and that collaboration left a lasting impression. We were building a hospital management system from the ground up - a complex, high-stakes product with multiple stakeholders, tight timelines, and very little room for error. Samarth brought exactly the kind of calm, methodical energy that a project like that demands. Whether it was a last-minute change in workflow logic or a tricky integration point between modules, Samarth handled it with quiet confidence and delivered consistently. Beyond the technical chops, he was genuinely collaborative - the kind of engineer who made the PM-engineering relationship feel like a real partnership, not a handoff. That's rarer than people think. Anyone building something meaningful would be lucky to have Samarth on their team.
I had the pleasure of working with Samarth at Curostrides, where he served as our CTO. He is an exceptional engineering leader with deep expertise in architecting scalable full-stack applications using Next.js, React, and React Native. Samarth combines strong technical vision with a practical, product-focused mindset. His leadership, mentorship, and ability to solve complex challenges made a significant impact on the team. I learned a lot working with him and would gladly work with him again in the future.
Samarth and I worked together for about 6 months at Up Learn. In this time, Samarth made significant contributions to migrating the frontend code base from JS to Typescript. His knowledge about Typescript helped the whole team build an understanding of Typescript best practices. He also researched and setup end to end testing skeleton for the team to build out the end to end testing framework. Samarth is a dedicated team player and a hard worker with a great attitude. I would recommend him to any frontend team looking to build out React based web and mobile applications.
