Senior Software Engineer — Autonomous Systems & AI Agents

I plan the next move —
for tractors, and lately, for agents.

Three years writing the C++ that decides where an autonomous vehicle goes next when the ground under it keeps changing. Now I point that same instinct — search, constraints, deterministic decision-making — at LLM-based agents, building the ones that have to reason the same way every time.

About

Portrait of VijayLaxmi Verma

Most of my last three years lived at the intersection of geometry and real-time constraints: A*/Hybrid A* search over live cost-maps, path smoothing, turn and trajectory generation under non-holonomic constraints, and multi-vehicle coordination for autonomous agricultural robots — code that has to decide, in milliseconds, what "safe" means before it means "fast."

These days I'm pointing that same discipline at a different kind of agent: at Arcesium, I build LLM-based agents designed to be deterministic rather than merely capable — same task in, same reasoning path and answer out, every time. I keep the fundamentals sharp with 550+ problems solved on LeetCode, and I'm looking to deepen the theory side of all this with graduate study in robotics.

Experience & Education

JUN 2026 — CURRENT

Senior Software Engineer, Arcesium

Bangalore, India
  • Design and build LLM-based agents in Python that produce deterministic, heuristic-driven administrative outputs — prioritizing reliability and precision over open-ended generation.
  • Own the full agent development lifecycle: architecture, structured instruction/skill design, testing, and refinement — defining how an agent reasons through a task and how it presents the final answer.
  • Build evaluation and testing frameworks to validate agent correctness, consistency, and determinism across edge cases before deployment.
JUL 2023 — MAY 2026

Software Engineer, John Deere

Pune, India
  • Designed and implemented the full motion planning pipeline in C++ on embedded systems for autonomous agricultural vehicles in unstructured field environments — A*/Hybrid A* search, cost-map construction, path smoothing, and turn/trajectory generation under non-holonomic motion constraints.
  • Built real-time obstacle avoidance and dynamic replanning that responded to moving obstacles and changing field conditions, improving operational reliability by 25%.
  • Developed multi-vehicle coordination logic enabling safe, conflict-free operation of multiple autonomous machines working the same field at once.
  • Led a React.js + Java microservices web app for fleet/operations management that replaced a third-party licensed tool, saving $2.5M a year, while mentoring junior engineers through the build.
  • Took a field-efficiency idea from sketch to a filed patent, with measurable impact once shipped.
MAY 2022 — JUL 2022

SDE Intern, SSM Infotech

Surat, India
  • Built a React Native attendance app (Android + iOS) with geolocation-restricted punch-in and automatic working-hours calculation.
  • Designed advanced SQL — multi-table joins, nested subqueries, window functions — for real-time attendance analytics.
  • Shipped a responsive React.js UI, plus secure auth and persistent session handling.
