Pankaj Pandey

Founded an AI automation consulting practice and product studio, directly driving discovery, architecture choices, iterative product development, test gates, and deployment. Developed AI-enabled SaaS, customer messaging automation, multi-agent workflows, and voice/vision concepts with MCP-based memory and tool orchestration. Published the Decide-Generate-Verify and Cognitive Partner frameworks on Medium.

• 🚀 AI SmartApp Factory — Architected and launched a multi-agent AI software development platform with GPT as Product Owner, Claude as Architect, Claude Code as Builder. Implemented a 9-step ceremony pipeline with Playwright E2E test gates, intent-driven development, automated build & deployment, and soft-delete safety. Stack: TypeScript · PostgreSQL · Drizzle ORM · Multi-agent orchestration.
• 🏥 NeoAssist — Designed and built a clinical decision support system for neonatal resuscitation with real-time state machine, checklist engine, and "Aria" multi-modal AI assistant integrating real-time voice (hands-free clinician interaction) and vision (visual clinical context analysis). Architected MCP (Model Context Protocol) layer to manage Aria's memory persistence and tool execution orchestration — structured access to checklists, drug calculators, and birth-anchored reminders, all governed by strict human-review safety guards (never auto-administers, never auto-escalates). Production deployment with offline queue.
