About Rama Ilanagai

Crawley, UK

I'm Rama Ilanagai — a software and data professional with 9+ years of experience, now focused on AI engineering.

I help teams use AI practically: building agentic workflows, RAG/knowledge systems, and automation that reduce manual effort and improve decisions — without creating security or maintenance headaches.

My approach is business-first: we define success metrics, prototype fast, then ship something your team can actually run in production — with guardrails, auditability, and clear ownership.

If you're exploring AI and want a realistic plan (or a working prototype), send a message — I'll reply with next available slots.
