Deepesh Kumar

Software Engineer · Automation & AI

Summary

I build systems that take manual work off people’s plates: AI document pipelines, outreach and scheduling automation, LLM monitoring and incident tooling. At Tax Consulting South Africa I’ve shipped 9 internal systems end-to-end for a 250+ person firm, on Python, FastAPI, Node.js, Next.js, Microsoft Graph and Azure.

AI document pipelines

  • Built a daily legal-monitoring pipeline that scrapes SAFLII for new Government Gazettes, flags tracked corporate Acts, rewrites them into plain-English summaries via the OpenAI Batch API (50% cheaper than standard calls) and files Word reports to SharePoint, all scheduled on GitHub Actions.
  • Built LegalProcessor, an 8-stage PDF → plain English → DOCX pipeline publishing to Azure Blob, SharePoint and WordPress, with a React + TypeScript dashboard that tracks every stage live.

Outreach & scheduling

  • Built a multi-tenant lead-engagement platform (FastAPI, Postgres, Microsoft Graph) automating Outlook outreach, reply tracking, Teams bookings and Playwright-driven LinkedIn outreach, with human-approved AI replies and an MCP server for internal assistants.
  • Shipped a WhatsApp meeting-reminder service (Node.js, Prisma, Twilio) that syncs Microsoft 365 calendars through Graph webhooks and messages every attendee 10 minutes before a call, handling reschedules, cancellations and duplicate-safe sends.
  • Built a real-time office café ordering app (Next.js, Prisma, SSE); baristas run the queue from WhatsApp buttons.

AI monitoring & insights

  • Built multi-LLM brand monitoring across 6 providers with weekly mention and ranking reports (Flask, MongoDB, Next.js dashboard), contributing to a 21% rise in brand visibility across major AI models in 4 months.
  • Built YouTube audience intelligence that turns comments across the channel’s 294 videos into ranked video ideas, content gaps and unanswered questions with gpt-4o-mini, at about $0.10–0.20 per run.

Engineering tooling

  • Built an incident copilot (FastAPI, ARQ/Redis, Postgres) that ingests production alerts, pulls context from GitHub, Vercel, Azure and Forge, writes AI triage, routes Outlook escalations to service owners and files reports to SharePoint.
  • Building a PR code-review bot on an internally hosted LLM so code never leaves company infrastructure; now in a silent-mode pilot.
