Plain version
Gowtam's room, without the 3D
An interactive 3D room that maps what Gowtam Ramanujam cares about: a desk for his AI architecture work, a console for games, a window onto a street with his Storm Bay BMW M235i, a wall of photos, two framed homes (India and the United States), a phone for saying hi, and Teeko, a black chihuahua.
Multi-Agent & Enterprise AI Systems
Work
By day (and plenty of nights) I architect multi-agent and enterprise AI systems, from orchestration and governance to integration and deployment. They run in production for the State of California, a multinational corporation in Dubai, and small businesses on Insight 360.
Selected projects
A multi-agent system on Claude that reads legacy code such as COBOL and DYL-280, designs a modern replacement with human input, and generates a first cut in the stack of the customer's choosing. In use by the State of California.
An agentic AI command center for small and medium businesses. An onboarding agent interviews each company and writes a "soul file" that every agent is bound to, so AI output follows company standards by design.
Three AI utilities inside Oracle Fusion (a resume shortlister, an expense auditor, and a contract compliance validator), all live with a multinational corporation based in Dubai.

The longer version
What I do
I'm an AI Architect at Optiwise. I design multi-agent and LLM-powered systems end to end: how the agents divide the work, what each one is allowed to do, where a person stays in the loop, and how it all plugs into the systems a company already runs. I work across Claude, GPT, Grok, open-source models, and OCI Generative AI.
The best example is the Legacy Modernization Assistant, now in use by the State of California. It's a team of agents on Claude that reads legacy code like COBOL, designs a modern replacement with people making the calls, generates it in whatever stack the customer picks, and checks the result against the original. The code never leaves the customer's own cloud.
How I got here
I studied computer science at Anna University in Chennai and started as a software developer at Kenla Systems, building web and mobile apps with React, React Native, and Node.js. At Optiwise I spent several years as a product manager, delivering four healthcare products including a HIPAA-compliant lab system, before moving into AI architecture.
That's 8+ years of shipping production software across healthcare, enterprise AI, and mobile. Along the way I co-founded a game studio whose first title passed 500,000 downloads, and I shipped three iOS apps.
Things I've shipped
- The Legacy Modernization Assistant: a multi-agent system in use by the State of California
- Three AI utilities for Oracle Fusion, live with a multinational corporation in Dubai
- Insight 360: an agentic AI command center live with 3 companies
- A HIPAA-compliant lab system handling 10,000+ samples a day
- Annie ACS: a patient-facing agent running 24/7 at a surgery practice
Working together
If you have a prototype that works in a demo but not on a Tuesday afternoon, that's the kind of problem I like. The case studies go deeper, and email is the fastest way to reach me.
Where I've lived
Two homes
I was born in Vermont, grew up in Idaho, and moved to India for high school and college. Work brought me back to the US, marriage took me back to India, and in 2025 our baby arrived and we moved back to the US as a family. Both countries show up in how I think, what I build, and what I care about.
The route so far

- 1999–2009Idaho. Where I grew up
- 2009–2019India. High school and college
- 2019–2023United States. Back to the US for work
- 2023–2025India. Got married and spent a few years there with my wife

Behind the wheel
Cars
Driving is my reset button. Give me an open road, good weather, and no destination in particular.
- Daily driver
- 2022 BMW M235i

Games
Games are how I unwind, and a big reason I build things at all. I co-founded a game studio whose first title passed 500,000 downloads, and my agent Oak exists because I wanted better answers to Pokemon questions.
Now playing
- Pokemon Champions on Nintendo Switch 2
- Age of Mythology on Xbox
All-time favorites
- The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
- Pokemon
- Mario Party
Genres I keep coming back to
- RPGs
500K+downloads on the first title from the studio I co-founded

How I work with people
What I'm good for
My favorite problem is an AI prototype that impressed people in a demo and now has to work every day. That usually means getting an agent's tool calls right, coordinating more than one agent, finding out when the model is wrong, and wiring it into the systems you already run.
- Architecting multi-agent and enterprise AI systems, from orchestration to governance
- Reviewing an agent product's architecture before you build it
- Designing and building LLM-backed systems hands-on
- Full-time AI architect or staff engineering roles
- Questions about anything in the case studies
How I work
Design first, then build fast. I start with a business requirements document, turn it into a technical design document, and have a working prototype in front of you, typically within days. From there it's iteration to production.
I use Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor as engineering tools to compress the design-to-prototype cycle, so the time goes into the decisions that matter: how the agents are orchestrated, where people stay in the loop, and how the system is governed.
Probably not a fit
Research papers, prompt tweaking with no plan to ship, or a chatbot that doesn't need to connect to anything. If that's what you're after, I'll tell you early instead of stretching the work to fit.
