Akshay Kambli

I build reliable, production-ready software at the edge of applied AI and large-scale data.

Portrait of Akshay Kambli

I'm Akshay Kambli, a full-stack software developer based in Pune, IN. I work on AI-powered SaaS platforms, multimodal LLM pipelines, and the data-intensive backends underneath them — and I design the interfaces that sit on top.

Right now I'm engineering DhatuVerse at NCAIR, IIT Bombay: ore estimation, 100+ GB ingestion pipelines, in-browser 3D subsurface visualisation, and the infrastructure that keeps all of it running.

Most of my work sits where the interesting problems are hardest to fake — query plans that decide whether a page loads in 100ms or 860ms, pipelines that have to survive a failed chunk halfway through 100 GB, models that need to be useful without labelled data.

I've won the Smart India Hackathon 2024 and the Nebius Everyday AI Hackathon 2025. I also run Cyra Labs, my studio. If you're building something ambitious, I'd like to hear about it.

Experience

Project Research Assistant

Current

NCAIR, IIT Bombay · Mumbai

Jun 2026 — Present

  • Implement a stereological ore estimation module and a multimodal AI-driven EDA engine that automates pattern discovery, anomaly flagging, and volume/grade estimation across geological, assay, and survey datasets — replacing a manual interpretation workflow that took geologists 2–3 hours per site survey.
  • Develop a high-performance point cloud and geological data visualization system on Potree and 3D Tiles, rendering large-scale subsurface LiDAR and terrain scans directly in-browser for real-time interactive interpretation.
  • Integrate Copernicus multispectral satellite data into the core ingestion pipeline to power bauxite deposit prediction over user-selected bounding boxes, extending the platform beyond borehole-only datasets.
  • Design and ship a full CI/CD pipeline on GitHub Actions that promotes releases across staging and production with blue-green deployment, delivering zero-downtime cutovers and instant rollbacks.
  • Harden production infrastructure across 4 core subsystems with Docker container health checks, database connection pooling, and automated nightly backups — cutting idle compute cost by 70%.

Software Development Consultant (Contract)

Global Technical Services · Mumbai

Jan 2026 — Aug 2026

  • Optimized the database layer with 3 migrations indexing 5 hot tables, eliminating full scans of 470K-row and 137K-row tables to cut page loads from 860ms to under 100ms — a 10x speedup across every admin page.
  • Rearchitected dashboard and reporting endpoints that shared an N+1 query loop, folding hundreds of per-equipment round trips into a single index-backed windowed SQL query and cutting median response times from 78s to below 1s.
  • Offloaded synchronous Python ML report generation (ferrography classification and predictive wear modelling) onto 2 dedicated database-backed queue workers, taking report pages from 47–120s to near-instant.
  • Containerized the full production stack with Docker Compose across 4 services — Laravel 9/PHP-FPM, Caddy with automatic HTTPS, a Flask ML inference API, and queue workers — isolating ML queries from public traffic.
  • Built an automated end-to-end ML retraining pipeline for the ferrography classifier, versioning training datasets on Cloudflare R2 so the model improves as new labelled lab samples accumulate in production.

ML Research Intern

NCAIR, IIT Bombay · Mumbai

Jun 2025 — Jun 2026

  • Designed the platform's UI/UX in Figma from scratch and built the client-facing React.js frontend, a Node.js/Express API server, and a Python FastAPI microservice for ML and geological computation.
  • Built a borehole desurvey and compositing pipeline from scratch, converting raw Collar/Survey/Assay CSVs into 3D spatial trajectories across 39 collars, with length-weighted assay compositing and lode calculations to delineate mineralized zones.
  • Engineered a fault-tolerant, chunked ingestion pipeline streaming 100+ GB of LiDAR, tabular, and geospatial data with error recovery, schema validation, and resumable chunk retries.
  • Architected and deployed the full-stack production infrastructure on AWS EC2 with Nginx reverse proxy, Docker containerization, Postgres, and AWS S3 for point cloud and satellite imagery storage.
