Experience

  1. AI Engineer

    ·Numero.io

    Nov 2024 — Present

    Building an agentic system of work for the Office of the CFO. Two products: a financial research agent that retrieves across public, private and guidance documents, and an agentic workflow platform where reusable agents carry multi-step finance processes end to end for large-cap customers in health, finance and SaaS.

Projects

Atlas

Retrieval-augmented generation over PDF manuals, without a vector database. Rather than embedding chunks and hoping cosine similarity lands somewhere useful, it reasons over a semantic tree of the document — so every answer cites the page it came from.

3D Generation Pipeline

An agentic workflow that takes a text prompt to a printable model: Gemini generates the image, Tripo3D lifts it into a mesh, Blender smooths and subdivides it. Each stage is a discrete step that reports back and waits for confirmation before committing, so a bad generation is caught early instead of at the end.

osm-road-mesh

Turns any city's road network into a watertight, 3D-printable STL — roads that follow the terrain beneath them rather than floating flat above it. Road centrelines are buffered per class and triangulated with Shapely, every vertex is sampled against the terrain independently, and side walls are ring-walked so the mesh is watertight by construction rather than by repair. Built as the road-mesh engine for an open-source city-to-STL tool.

Shilp

E-commerce for 3D-printed art and gifts, backed by a service that turns any city into a printable model on demand — jobs queued, meshes cached per city and served as STLs from object storage.

Keralic

A Kerala-themed commerce store — product catalogue, admin console, QR-coded products and session auth, over Postgres with a typed query layer.

Real-Time Solar System

A browser solar system running on true orbital mechanics — real periods, J2000 mean longitudes, a tilted ecliptic — with hero text that reflows around the planets' projected screen positions as they move.

About

I'm Robick R, an AI engineer with 11+ years of experience building production systems. I started at Wipro in 2015 through the Work Integrated Learning Program, and spent the decade that followed on enterprise platforms at IBM and NatWest Group — Spring Boot, Apigee API management, and the software design that keeps large systems maintainable.

Since late 2024 I've been at Numero.io building an agentic system of work for the Office of the CFO — agents that execute multi-step financial workflows rather than just answer questions about them. It draws on both halves of that history: the GenAI systems work, and the years spent on financial-services platforms at NatWest, where the cost of getting a transaction wrong is the whole point. Outside work I stay in the same territory — Atlas answers questions from technical manuals with page-level citations, and my generation pipeline runs a prompt through a chain of steps that each report back before committing.
