Bharath Kumar
AI Engineer · Marketing & Advertising

Most AI never makes it to production.
Mine runs the business.

For 8+ years I've built production ML, data workflows, and analytics for the world's largest advertisers and media agencies — and now the agentic systems on top of them. I turn marketing's hardest problems into software that runs itself.

The Short Story

From data scientist to AI systems architect.

I started where most engineers do — wrangling messy data and building models that answered hard questions for marketers. Over eight years that grew into something bigger: architecting the data and ML systems that put models into production, and lately the agentic platforms that operate them on their own.

I work at the intersection of AI engineering and marketing — a rare combination. I understand how large advertisers and agencies actually run, and I build the AI that makes them run better.

I'm a builder first. I'd rather ship a system that quietly works than talk about one that might.

What I Do

Three things I'm known for.

Capabilities, not buzzwords — the work that shows up again and again.

Agentic Systems

I design and ship production multi-agent platforms — harness, memory, tools, and guardrails — that operate real marketing workflows, not demos.

ML & Data Engineering

End-to-end pipelines: data workflows, model training and inference, packaging, and deployment — on privacy-safe, clean-room data.

Marketing Depth

Deep fluency in how advertisers and agencies actually operate — the domain moat that makes the AI I build genuinely useful.

Featured Work

A decade of building, distilled.

A few projects that show the range — AI, ML, data, and the marketing problems behind them. Described at a high level; the details live under NDA.
