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.
AI Architect
Work
By day (and plenty of nights) I design and build AI systems: agents that reason, call tools, and hold up in production. I like the hard middle part, where a clever demo becomes software people can trust.
Selected projects
A full-stack AI agent that answers natural-language Pokémon questions by reasoning over raw game data, not just looking facts up, with cited sources and explicit uncertainty in every answer.
An AI medical consultant for a cosmetic surgery practice that educates patients on procedures, streams cited media from a curated knowledge base, books consultations via Calendly, and gives practice staff a full admin panel, including a second agent that answers natural-language questions over thousands of patient conversations.

About me
I'm an AI architect who builds agents for a living and games, apps, and side projects for fun. This room is a little map of what I care about. Click around.

Meet Teeko
The real owner of this room is a black chihuahua. He naps on the rug at night and patrols the room by day. Say hi to Teeko
The longer version
What I do
I design and build AI agents: systems where a language model has to call tools, work with real data, and give an answer someone can act on. Most of the job is the unglamorous middle part: picking the model, deciding what tools it gets, and planning for when it's wrong and how a person finds out.
The best example is Annie, a patient assistant for a cosmetic surgery practice. It answers procedure questions around the clock, pulls the right video from the practice's own library, and books consultations. I took it from a prototype that lost conversations on restart to a platform the staff run themselves. That includes a second agent that lets them ask plain-English questions across thousands of patient chats.
How I got here
Over the last seven years I've built production software for healthcare, finance, and recruiting teams. 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
- Annie ACS: a patient-facing agent running 24/7 at a surgery practice
- Oak: a Pokémon agent that reasons from 14 data tools and cites every answer
- A lab system handling 10,000+ samples a day
- A resume parser that screens 1,000+ applicants per posting
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.

Behind the wheel
Cars
Driving is my reset button. Give me an open road, good weather, and no destination in particular.

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.

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.
- 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
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.
