Technical expertise for modern software challenges
Add intelligence to your applications
Integrate LLMs and vision models into your products — document parsing, semantic search, OCR, and RAG systems. I help you add AI capabilities without rebuilding from scratch.
Discuss your AI needs →Design systems that scale
Whether you're modernizing legacy systems, planning a major migration, or architecting something new — I provide hands-on guidance for the technical decisions: system design, technology selection, and migration strategy.
Book a consultation →From concept to production
Full-stack web and mobile development — React and Node.js for web, React Native and Flutter for mobile, deployed on AWS and GCP. I build applications that are maintainable, performant, and ready to grow with your business.
Start your project →Understand what you have
A thorough review of your codebase: architecture quality, security posture, technical debt, and performance bottlenecks. You get a detailed report with prioritized recommendations and a clear path forward.
Request an audit →Real projects. Measurable outcomes.
Extract text from any document and search for specific details — ask for a passport number, get the exact number and the name it belongs to.
→Bolt on a new client with modern design instead of rewriting current UI — keeps existing system working and faster path to change.
→Fixed seat rooms with screen share, speaking indicators, and waitlisting for post-conference networking — all built on Agora RTC and RTM.
→Thoughts on architecture, engineering leadership, and building systems that last.
LLMs don't gradually get better. They hit a threshold where fluent, realistic conversation suddenly emerges. Here's why training scale matters.
2 min →Retrieval-Augmented Generation lets LLMs answer questions about private data.
2 min →The rewrite-vs-refactor question comes up in every legacy modernization. Here is my thoughts based on experience modernizing legacy code.

I'm Vikram Rao — Technology consultant with 20+ years of experience in system architecture, AI integration and product engineering. Currently deepening expertise in AI/ML — studying machine learning foundations and large language models, based in Bengaluru, India.
With a degree in computer science and engineering in 2003, I started writing code professionally. Since then I've worked across startups, enterprises, and everything in between — building products, leading teams, and making the decisions that determine how software holds up under pressure.
In 2018 I founded Melluli Technologies to work directly with clients on the engagements I find most meaningful: the ones where the technical decisions genuinely matter and where someone with real experience can make a real difference.
I'm currently deepening my expertise in AI and machine learning — attending the Oxford Machine Learning Summer School in July 2026 and targeting Georgia Tech's OMSCS programme starting 2027.
I work with a small team of skilled engineers. Every client engagement is led by me personally.
