Ranjan Singh
Lead Engineer at Telos
I'm a Gen AI & Product Engineer with nearly a decade of experience shipping production AI and user-facing systems across web and mobile.
I'm currently Lead Engineer at Telos in New York, where I took the AI Life Coach platform from early prototype to production across iOS, Android, and web, leading the engineering team across architecture, delivery, and product analytics. I architected the multi-agent LLM system (LangChain + LangGraph) behind the journaling and coaching experience, with long-term memory via Zep and retrieval grounded in pgvector.
The part I care most about is what happens to your data on the way to the model. At Telos I built a privacy-by-design pipeline using Microsoft Presidio to de-identify user content before any prompt leaves the platform, so zero PII reaches third-party LLMs. That problem turned out to be much bigger than one product, which is why I'm now building Omit: local-only PII redaction that runs entirely on your machine, with no cloud, no accounts, and no telemetry.
Day to day I work in TypeScript, Python, React, Next.js, React Native, and Node.js, and I care a lot about the things that don't show up in a demo: latency under load, failure modes, and code other people can maintain.
Currently working on
- Omit: offline, privacy-first PII redaction for Windows.
- AI powered Journal for Intentional Living: Telos.
- Shelly: a floating terminal companion for AI coding workflows.
