Malhotra

AI Systems & Backend Engineer

Building reliable AI systems—from backend architecture to multi-GPU spectral computing.

MS in Computer Science from Case Western Reserve University with a 4.0 GPA. Working across AI infrastructure, backend architecture, GPU-accelerated computing, and research software.

01 / Selected work

Systems work with constraints visible.

AI Reliability and ProvenanceIn Progress

ProofLayer

A tamper-evident verification and provenance layer for AI agents that decomposes output into atomic claims and produces signed, hash-chained verification receipts.

Verification receipts connect claim-level evidence, evaluation, freshness, and provenance.
