I build AI systems that make it to production. Dipendra Bhatta (Dipen), full-stack engineer working on AI, voice and LLM systems.

I'm Dipendra Bhatta, a full-stack engineer working on voice and LLM pipelines and the infrastructure underneath them. At AIPrep I built an AI video platform from zero and cut per-video LLM cost by 80%. At CaseBase I shipped a Deepgram meeting recorder and an AI assistant that answers law firms' clients. Python and TypeScript, Kubernetes on GCP.

80%
lower LLM cost per video, via model routing

Billions

01About

How I work

I started in Spring Boot and React at a small agency in Nepal, and spent the last two years going deeper down the stack: queues, clusters, and the unglamorous parts of making an AI product work for real users.

The pattern in my work is taking something that works in a demo and making it survive production. A model-routing layer because the LLM bill was growing faster than usage. Celery workers across GKE and Modal because rendering queued up behind one box. A ClickHouse schema because Postgres couldn't answer questions over billions of rows.

I've been a co-founder twice, so I'm comfortable owning a problem end to end, talking to the people who use what I build, and shipping without waiting for a spec. I'm now looking for a team where I can do that on a product that has already found its users.
