Staff Software Engineer · Bangalore

Anto Christopher Jerald

I help ship AI systems that actually work in production — designing agentic workflows, fine-tuning models, and building the eval and observability scaffolding around them. Currently leading an AI team at DeepSource, on top of a background in static analysis and full-stack engineering.

Skills

Experience

DeepSource

Staff Software Engineer

Oct 2021 — Present

  • Led a five-engineer AI team — set the technical direction, make the calls on architecture, and mentor the group, while still spending most of my time hands-on in the codebase.
  • Built our multi-agent code-review and remediation pipelines on Pydantic AI, with code-extraction tooling and static-analysis-driven context shaping the prompts — 84.51% F1 on vulnerability detection against a public benchmark.
  • Shipped a secrets-detection engine that fine-tunes small LLMs for the task — high precision (92.78% F1) without the cost profile of a frontier model.
  • Designed long-term memory for our agents on top of embedding-based retrieval, so each review draws on the relevant history of that codebase instead of starting cold every time.
  • Built the evaluation and observability layer underneath all of this: agent-level performance metrics, traces across multi-step runs, plus latency, failure-mode, and token-spend monitoring in production.
  • Wrote DeepSource's JavaScript and Swift static-analysis engines from the ground up, with extensible APIs for rules and autofixes. The work cut analyzer failures by 63% and grew usage by 118%, now serving 10K+ customer codebases across 200K+ monthly runs.

SAP Labs

Associate Software Developer

Aug 2019 — Oct 2021

  • Built the WYSIWYG form builder inside SAP SuccessFactors Onboarding (JavaScript + Java) — the tool HR teams use to author their compliance and data-collection forms.
  • Shipped a range of user-facing features across the SAP Industry Cloud suite: a navigation rework, an IoT-backed real-time inventory map, data import/export, and audit logging.
