Principal AI Scientist / Architect

Architecting Generative AI that is responsible and production-ready.

I am Joydeb Mondal, a Principal AI Scientist and Architect in Bangalore, focused on Generative AI, Responsible AI, and foundation models. I translate frontier model capabilities into secure, scalable systems, from safety evaluation and model architecture through enterprise deployment.

Experience

Leading AI architecture and applied research from strategy to deployment.

2020 - Present Bangalore, India

Principal Applied Scientist

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure

  • Defined Responsible AI platform strategy and shipped guardrails covering PII detection, prompt injection defense, content moderation, and off-topic detection.
  • Built multi-agent safety orchestration with auditable policy enforcement, reducing unsafe prompt success rates by 35-50% and policy violations by 40%.
  • Standardized SLM/LLM training and serving with PEFT, Triton, vLLM, OpenVINO, and hybrid RAG, driving higher throughput and lower inference latency.
  • Deployed Medical BERT clinical NLP models and privacy-preserving PHI detection systems for regulated healthcare workflows.
2017 - 2020

Senior Research Scientist

Nouveau Labs

  • Led the transition from rule-based conversational AI to Transformer-based NLP pipelines, improving intent accuracy by 25-30%.
  • Delivered enterprise NER, contextual response prediction, voice integration, and predictive analytics systems while mentoring junior engineers.
2014 - 2015

Software Developer (ML)

Tecnixs Software & Technologies

  • Developed a machine learning network anomaly detection system achieving 92% F1 on structured traffic features.
Focus Areas
