Vikas Salgude
I build high-fidelity backend systems and local AI integrations, focusing on performance, search retrieval, and API design. As a computer engineering student with a 9.45 CGPA, I design systems that trade off infrastructure costs for local execution efficiency.

Featured project
CodeSage
Production-Grade Codebase RAG Assistant
Problem: Character-based text splitting is brittle and loses semantic context and logical code boundaries (classes, methods, functions).
Built: A syntax-aware RAG pipeline utilizing Tree-sitter to parse ASTs in JavaScript, TypeScript, and Python. Integrates Qdrant's HNSW vector indexing with Maximal Marginal Relevance re-ranking to balance relevance and diversity, and generates embeddings locally using ONNX runtime.
Tradeoff: Local ONNX embeddings over an embeddings API — traded a little accuracy for zero cost and no dependency on external API access from India.
