Portrait of Rishob Guha Patra

About

I own problems end-to-end: stakeholder discovery → architecture → build → deployment → measured adoption. At AT&T / Cricket Wireless I designed and built a complete quality-automation ecosystem — AI agent systems, a TypeScript/Playwright testing platform, a cross-platform Electron desktop app, and full-stack developer tools with adoption telemetry — serving 8 scrum teams on a high-traffic e-commerce site.

I work deep in LLM orchestration and tool-calling, MCP, and RAG grounding, and I build with React, TypeScript, Node.js, Python, and LLM APIs. On the side, I founded an assistive-technology charity building AI-powered smart glasses for the blind — hands-on embedded AI and computer vision, from circuit to cloud.
