Portrait of Tejas Vermani

SDE I @ Amazon · New York

I build systems that make hard ideas useful.

I'm Tejas—an SDE at Amazon and Georgia Tech alumnus working across production software, machine learning, and quantitative finance.

01 / Selected work

Built to answer real questions.

Selected products and experiments across software, data, and finance.

02

Planner and evaluation harness

TokenSmith Query Decomposition

A planner for multi-hop retrieval whose three-pass evaluation raised mean judge score from 3.93 to 4.04 while increasing mean latency from 14.7s to 23.3s.

  • Python
  • RAG
  • Evals
  • Local LLMs

02 / Experience

Production-minded:

Ambitious systems, clear ownership, work that holds up in production.

    Software Development Engineer Intern

    Amazon · New York, NY

    Built a data-retrieval agent for Creator Assistant with Amazon Bedrock, Java, Spring Boot, and internal reporting APIs. Used Return Control so tool calls execute in the application rather than the model, and automated evals for accuracy, relevance, latency, and tool selection.

    • Return Control against prompt injection
    • Evals: accuracy, relevance, latency, tool selection

03 / About

Both an engineer and investigator.

Tejas paddleboarding on the ocean
Off screen, preferably near water.

I like turning messy questions into things people can actually use.

I earned both my Master's in Machine Learning and B.S. in Computer Science from Georgia Tech. My graduate research explored Proofs of Useful Work through arbitrary matrix multiplication; my product work spans agentic AI, secure data systems, and quantitative tools.

Away from the terminal, I follow markets, tinker with local AI hardware, and get outside when I can.
