Hey, I'mAbhijeet Solanki.
AI EngineerAdversarial ML ResearcherSenior Software Engineer at Arctera
I'm based in Nashville, and I spend my days making AI hold up in the real world: fast on tiny devices, dependable in production, and hard to fool. I'm a Senior Software Engineer at Arctera, where I build GenAI assistants on Azure OpenAI that help SREs find the root cause of failures 45% faster.
Before that, I spent nearly two years as an AI researcher at Tennessee Tech, attacking and defending the cameras, LiDAR and GPS that autonomous vehicles rely on, and running real-time defenses on NVIDIA Jetson boards. That work became 12 peer-reviewed publications, including two in IEEE Access and one at ACM/IEEE SEC 2026, and an M.S. in Computer Engineering (AI) under Dr. Syed Rafay Hasan. Earlier, I built backend systems and data pipelines in industry, including a Spark pipeline that ingested 10M+ loan records.
Most recently, I designed and built Prooftrace, an AI tester that reads a user story, drives a real browser, and proves every acceptance criterion with evidence. I also share my research code in the open, like CAFE and ReAL, and I write about machine learning on my blog.
If you're hiring, working on something similar, or just want to talk shop, I'd love to hear from you: abhijeet.solanki@outlook.com.
