About the practice

Logic with a human point of view.

From NLP research at IIT Bombay to founding engineering in Berlin—building production AI across models, backend systems, infrastructure, and product.

A short introduction

I'm Jigar Makwana.

I'm a software and founding engineer who works across the full production stack—agentic AI pipelines, backend systems, databases, infrastructure, integrations, and product delivery. At Bryo, I helped build a platform that turns complex RFQs into quotations in under an hour.

My foundation in NLP research at IIT Bombay still shapes how I build. After publishing at ACM CODS-COMAD 2023, I developed document intelligence at Nuvento, healthcare RAG systems at Tiger Analytics, and production AI automation at Bryo in Berlin.

Outside work, I care about photography, fine arts, design, and volleyball. Leading Kaladarshan exhibitions and serving as Institute Design Convener taught me that rigorous systems and expressive craft are closer than they seem.
