Automation & AI-Focused Engineer @ IBM
Automating enterprise workflows,
building AI agents.
Hey, I'm Kshitij — I design and build enterprise RPA across finance, HR, cybersecurity and business operations, and own the reliability of a 95+ bot production footprint across SAP and other enterprise apps. I've since moved beyond rule-based automation into Python-based AI agents and intelligent, context-aware workflows. I write about it all on Medium.
01 · About

From a summer-break website
to automation, data & agents.
Back in high school, after finishing my 12th grade and looking for something to do during a long summer break, I decided to try my hand at building a website. That project sparked a passion for building things that work that has only grown stronger since.
I'm an Automation & AI-focused engineer with 3 years at IBM. I started out using Celonis process mining to uncover where enterprise processes were breaking down, then moved into RPA development — building 15+ bots end-to-end, shipping dozens of change requests across the existing portfolio, and now owning the reliability of a 95+ bot production footprint across SAP and other enterprise systems, spanning finance, HR, cybersecurity, and business operations.
Lately that's evolved into AI-driven automation: Python-based automations, AI agents, and intelligent workflows that don't just execute predefined steps but understand context and make decisions.
Off-screen: cricket, music, movies and the odd sitcom binge, and lately trying to walk more and eat healthier. I'm also not-so-secretly into photography — nothing professional, just a habit of pulling out my phone wherever I'm traveling to shoot trees, skies, buildings, whatever catches my eye. Some of it ends up on Unsplash.
Thanks for stopping by to learn a bit about me. Let's connect and create something amazing together!
