About

I'm Sakshi Wadaskar, currently an Agentic AI Engineer at Saayam For All. My career has been defined by building high-stakes, production-grade systems, from optimizing real-time trading pipelines at Annaly Capital to scaling microservices at Thoughtworks. I specialize in bridging the gap between modern AI—like RAG pipelines and autonomous workflows—and complex legacy infrastructure. I’m passionate about pragmatic engineering and end-to-end ownership, believing that the best solutions are forged under the pressure of real-world constraints. Beyond engineering, I value mentorship and staying active in the professional community through referrals and knowledge sharing. I’m currently looking to transition into Forward Deployed or AI/ML Engineering roles where I can apply my blend of enterprise backend experience and cutting-edge AI implementation to solve high-impact problems.

Opinions

Real engineering happens when systems work under production pressure within legacy constraints.
Advocates for end-to-end ownership in ambiguous environments—ship solutions before a problem is fully defined.
Strong proponent of Test-Driven Development (TDD) and cross-functional bug bashes.
