Anu Joy · Independent AI & data engineer

From prototype to production.
AI systems built to ship.

I work with founders and small teams to build production-grade AI systems — from the first prototype to a robust, deployable product.

ramenbuild ↗

My boutique AI agency for seed-stage founders — we help founders design and build agentic workflows that reason, retrieve, decide, and act across their users' real jobs. Workflow mapping before any code; ship an MVP, learn, iterate.

Sitespry

Built Sitespry — a RAG-powered document intelligence product. Ingests PDFs, Word, websites; generates semantic embeddings and auto Q&A pairs; provides hybrid vector search with citations; and deploys as embeddable chat widgets. Plugin architecture, MCP server integration.

02 · What I build

AI & LLM systems

Chat, evals, classification, workflows.

Retrieval-augmented search

So your AI cites real sources.

Backend architecture

APIs, queues, auth.

Data pipelines

Ingestion, transformation, delivery.

Geospatial analysis

Mapping, spatial queries, OS data.

How I work

I care about correctness, legibility, and craft: systems that do what they say, fail gracefully (no silent breakages, no mystery errors), and are easy to reason about. I bring both the depth to architect complex pipelines and the pragmatism to ship things that work.
